Everyone knows Prince Edward County is a hot spot for real estate, but did you know Greater Napanee Real Estate is quietly growing to the northeast? Greater Napanee winds through Hastings County, Lennox & Addington, and Loyalist County. People are moving to Greater Napanee for a slower pace of life -- and the knowledge that their properties are ONLY going up in value.
Picture small-town vibes with affordable properties, with rivers, woodlands, and nature woven into the very seams of its borders, Real Estate in Greater Napanee is growing big time -- because it's country living -- yet still close to major cities like Belleville and Kingston.
One of the most beautiful things about Greater Napanee is the Napanee River, which winds down from Camden Lake to the Bay of Quinte, sprawling with beautiful parks and historical sites like the Old Grist Mill and Allan Macpherson House. In the northern part of Napanee, you can find all the big mall shopping you’ll need like Walmart, Canadian Tire, Metro, and more.

City of Napanee
Downtown Napanee is home to about 16,000 residents, which makes for just enough community to keep things interesting, but not enough to feel crowded. With the beautiful Napanee River winding through the center of town, shops and restaurants like the Waterfront River Pub and Terrace have grown in popularity. Napanee Falls is a charming waterfall by summer, and a roaring behemoth by spring, attracting hikers and trail runners. You can take your boat up the Napanee River to dock downtown in the summer months to enjoy boutique shopping, with quality names like M’Lady’s Lace and Touch Of Class.
The average listing price for a home in downtown Napanee is approximately $589,593 (Zolo) (Ovlix).
Adolphustown
Adolphustown lies at the southwestern tip of Lennox and Addington County. It’s the gateway for the eastern ferry crossing to Glenora, which connects the entire peninsula to Prince Edward County. The ferry is free and runs all year round – linking the western and eastern halves of one of the oldest colonial roads in the province, the Loyalist Parkway (Highway 33). Home to Bergeron Estate Winery and 33 Vines, Adolphustown has about a thousand residents and some of the prettiest views on the Bay of Quinte. For groceries and amenities, you’ve got to head up to Napanee – 20 minutes away, or take the ferry over into Picton – but the quiet, unparalleled views of Adolphus Reach and the Bay of Quinte, make it all worth it.
The average listing price in Adolphustown is around $450,000 (Zolo) (Ovlix).

Hay Bay
A part of Greater Napanee, yet only 15 minutes outside of downtown Napanee, Hay Bay boasts stunning views of the waterfront. It's 6 minutes from the Glenora Ferry, which runs all year round to Prince Edward County and Picton. Residents pop onto the ferry to shop in Picton or drive up to Napanee. The real gem of this beautiful hamlet is the peace and quiet, surrounded by wildlife and nature.
The average listing price for homes in Hay Bay is approximately $475,000 (Zolo) (Ovlix).
Odessa
Odessa is found at the southernmost tip of Lake Odessa, where the 401 meets Hwy 6 just east of Napanee. Home to both Odessa Public School and Ernestown Secondary School (boasting 650 students), families love Odessa for its proximity to neighbouring cities like Napanee and Kingston, yet its ability to maintain small-town charm and safety. You can find convenience stores, pharmacies, and a hardware store right in town -- but Metro on Kingston's western border is only a 13-minute drive away.
The average listing price in Odessa is around $525,000 (Zolo) (Ovlix).
Bath
Resting just north of stunning Amherst Island on the shores of Lake Ontario, you'll find the beautiful village of Bath. Bath was first settled by Loyalists in 1784, making it one of the oldest communities in Ontario. In the mid-1850s, Bath was a bustling village of nearly 1,000 people but began to lose industrial significance to Napanee, Kingston, and Belleville. Today, Bath is home to Loyalist Cove Marina, Heritage Park, Bath Centennial Park, and the Loyalist Golf and Country Club. Its 2,500 residents love their waterfront community and the wildlife that flock to the shores.
The average listing price in Bath is approximately $550,000 (Zolo) (Ovlix).
