Grimsby has become a favourite for Toronto commuters – located perfectly away from the GTA congestion, with tree-lined streets and the slower moving vibe of Niagara. Grimsby was even named the second best community in Ontario in 2019 by Macleans magazine (https://bit.ly/2FYeNXD). Grimsby has a very cool, hyper-local downtown strip. Spend an afternoon visiting all the locally-run shops with their eclectic offerings and the summer evening markets outside. And, they have one of Niagara’s first licensed cafes (Station 1 Coffeehouse) that features great musical acts in a cozy, intimate upstairs venue. This is not to mention the lakeside community being built up along the Lake Ontario shore, and the major coming of a new GO train station in Grimsby as part of the expansion into Niagara, making it all the more appealing to Torontonians looking to get away. Real estate-wise, it has this beautiful mix of very old, gorgeous maintained Victorian homes, and new, luxurious homes with views on both sides: Escarpment and Lake. Take a drive down Woolverton Rd to see an unbelievable view! Or, take a walk by the lake in Grimsby Beach and be delighted by Grimsby’s “Painted Ladies” neighbourhood.
