Niagara-on-the-Lake is a unique place to call home
It seems everyone knows “of” Niagara-on-the-Lake and most have either visited here or know someone that has visited here. While millions of people visit the area every year, for those of us that live here, it is just home! For us, strolling through the historic streets, golfing along the waterfront on Lake Ontario, biking up the Niagara Parkway or sipping a glass of pinot noir in a local vineyard is just part of everyday life.
Luxurious small-town living
An historic town with the charm of “small town living” you’ve been seeking. Running into neighbours at the local grocery store, library or post office. Meeting up with friends and neighbours for an impromptu “catch-up” after a tennis game or book club. A place where you can easily become part of the community. You can be as “active” and involved in the local community as you want, or chose to cocoon into a quieter and slower pace.
Culture and natural beauty
With a population of just under 14,000, we are situated in four distinct communities, joined together by renowned wine and tender fruit farmland. Layer on world-class theatre, music and artistic venues, renowned culinary experiences, wineries and picturesque farmland, a unique micro-climate, seemingly an unending list of sporting activities on your doorstep, historically significant sites being preserved for generations to come, and the majestic Niagara River meeting Lake Ontario; you quickly know why living in Niagara-on-the-Lake is so special.

To people that live here, we like to just call it home!
QUEENSTON

Located along the Niagara River at the base of the Escarpment and in the shadow of the historic Brock monument. This quaint village is home to the Laura Secord Museum and is steeped in historic, geographic, and architectural gems. Continued local focus to limit residential development has meant that the same quaint charms from yesteryear are still enjoyed by its residents today.
