Belleville, ON is the perfect combination of urban meets rural: a city with a vibrant community and cultural centre, restaurants and entertainment – yet steps from stunning waterways, provincial parks and the great outdoors.
With easy access to a wide range of services from banking to healthcare and one of the highest rated school systems in Ontario, it is no wonder Belleville has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Communities 3 different times.
As the middle point between Ottawa and Toronto, along with its proximity to the 401 and now famous Prince Edward County, Belleville has grown substantially in the past 10 years, and is only expected to continue. For families, retirees, and entrepreneurs seeking a more affordable and tranquil lifestyle outside of Toronto and Ottawa, Belleville is the perfect destination.
“Living in Belleville is the perfect blend of city meets country. When I first visited here from Toronto, I knew this was meant to be home"
-Jennifer Menard
