THE FRIENDLY CITY
Belleville — known as “The Friendly City” — is situated on the picturesque Bay of Quinte. Being located just off Hwy 401, an almost equal distance between Toronto and Montreal makes Belleville a great central point. Belleville’s bustling city streets contrast the rolling rural landscapes that surround them. With all the modern amenities of a large metropolitan city, Belleville is not just a great place to vacation, it’s a great place to live and work.
Belleville is the largest and most central city in the region with a variety of big city amenities that a community of 50,000+ people call home. It’s situated at the mouth of the Moira River on the Bay of Quinte.
