Just over a year ago, my family and I were busily packing for a year-long exchange in Switzerland. My husband was switching jobs with a Swiss teacher in the little French-speaking town of Farvagny, about 40 minutes by car from Bern, and we were all jumping on his coattails and happily going along for the ride. The Swiss family would live in our house near Belleville and we would live in theirs. Perfect. My older daughter even agreed to ...

Like Belleville, Quinte West has become an attractive area for the millennial homebuyer — and no wonder. With average home prices well under $300,000 and a landscape that mixes the best of rural and urban living, the reasons for putting down roots here are many. For one, this city of 43,000 sits on a gorgeous stretch of the Bay of Quinte at the mouth of the world-famous Trent-Severn Waterway. For another, it has a strong and vibrant economic base ...
Though millennials are expected to account for up to 35 per cent of home sales this year, it’s no secret that many are getting priced out of red hot housing markets like Toronto’s and are looking further afield for their dream homes. One place they’re looking in increasing numbers is Belleville, where average home prices are around $300,000 and the amenities rival any in Ontario. Seriously, where else will you find 1,200 kilometres of water-front near your doorstep for ...
Last Chance Marie has been making music in the Bay of Quinte region since 2007.

I met with them there to get their perspective on how the region has evolved, and to find out where bands go to eat on the Bay. M: Having the experience ...
