"When I was posted in Trenton, I wanted to make sure my family was close to the base, had great re-sell value, and also had community. It's hard enough moving across the country and starting fresh. We chose Bayside so the kids could go to the french immersion school. Plus, it's close to the water and has a ton of outdoor spaces. We love it."

Batawa is named after the Bata Family, state-of-the-art shoemakers from Czechoslovakia who were known for sustainable, high quality shoes and employed nearly 2000 people. Today, the original factory has been converted to 47 stunning, factory style residences. Today Batawa is famous for its ski and snowboard hill which has several runs open all winter long.

FRANKFORD

Frankford is a small town with a population of several thousand residents, 10 minutes north of Trenton. The Trent River flows through the village down to the Bay of Quinte, with shops and residences hugging its banks on both sides. The Ramney Gorge Suspension Bridge connects the two sides of Frankford, via Hwy 5 – with Stockdale to the West and Wallbridge to the East. Frankford is quaint yet you can still find your everyday conveniences like an LCBO, Home Hardware, a butcher, small grocery shops and several restaurants. You’ll also find a beach and splash park for the kids. If you have small children, Frankford is a great, affordable place to live.

Nearby conveniences are found in Trenton and Frankford, less than 5 minutes away. Kids can attend Stockdale Public school, a cute, community oriented primary school with a really good reputation.

WOOLER

If you’ve heard of Wooler, it’s probably because it’s got its own exit off the 401 before coming into Belleville. Just a couple minutes north of the highway, it’s a pretty small hamlet with a convenience store and gas station – but it is well known for its beautiful rolling hills and custom rural estate properties. Residents head to Trenton 15 minutes away to pick up groceries or shop. If you’re looking for quiet, country living, Wooler is for you.

Residents attend schools in Trenton, less than 10 minutes away. On the outskirts of town, Murray Canal connects the Bay of Quinte to Lake Ontario – an 8 km long canal which ferried coal and other commercial boats for many years, making Carrying Place quite famous in the past. This also means a lot of waterfront properties hugging the beautiful canal, on its way towards the Bay of Quinte.

BARCOVAN BEACH

On the stunning shores of Lake Ontario where Prince Edward County meets the outskirts of Brighton, you'll find Barcovan Beach. Close to Carrying Place and Presq'uile Provincial Park, the unbeatable views make the neighbourhood a sought after destination.
