By
Real Estate Agent with Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty

Belleville, the Friendly City, lies approximately 2 hours east of Toronto and is the largest community in the Quinte region. Belleville and the surrounding Quinte Region has been identified as one of the best areas in Canada in which to live. There are amazing beaches including 4 provincial parks, the beautiful Waterfront Trail, great entertainment including live theatre, fantastic fishing especially walleye, farmer's markets, culinary delights in our local restaurants. There is always something to do in Belleville and the rest of the Quinte region.

One of the best things though is the fact that Belleville real estate is still relatively affordable, even for first time home buyers, when compared to other areas of southern Ontario. The average price for a home in the Quinte region at the end of 2006 was just over $183,000, considerably less than the $351,000 average price in Toronto. Combine the affordability of Belleville real estate with a great place to live, it's no wonder that more and more people are moving to Belleville and the rest of the Quinte region
