Living Here

Conveniently nestled between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, Belleville’s location makes it a great home for those who want access to the amenities of larger cities but prefer to live in a quieter community.

Outdoor space and seasonal activities are part of daily life. Trails, waterfront access and nearby provincial parks offer options for year-round recreation. Prince Edward County—known for its beaches, wineries, and farmers’ markets—is just a short drive away.

Belleville offers a more affordable cost of living compared to larger urban centres like Toronto or Ottawa. Housing prices are generally lower, making home ownership more accessible, especially for those looking for more space, a slower pace, or room to grow.

Belleville has a mix of housing options, including newer sub divisions, established neighbourhoods, waterfront condos, and historic homes. Neighbourhoods are family-friendly and schools, parks, and recreation centres are easily accessible.

Belleville’s economy is expanding, with employment opportunities in healthcare, skilled trades, education, and small business. Regional job listings can be found at workinquinte.ca.

More than 50 new businesses opened in 2025, including salons, fitness and art studios, health clinics, and restaurants, contributing to a growing and active local economy.
