London
Southern Ontario's most affordable major city — with a growing university population, strong healthcare sector, and a welcoming community for families and first-time buyers.
About City
London is Southwestern Ontario's largest city and one of the most livable in Canada — a place where affordability, education, healthcare, and culture intersect in a way that's increasingly rare in the province. Home to Western University and Fanshawe College, the city has a young, diverse, and educated population that gives its neighbourhoods a genuine vitality. The Thames River winds through the city, connecting over 30 km of trails through riverside parks like Springbank and Fanshawe Conservation Area. Old East Village, Wortley Village, and Richmond Row give London a collection of walkable, character-rich districts packed with independent restaurants, boutiques, and local breweries. For buyers priced out of the GTA and KW markets, London has emerged as one of Ontario's most compelling real estate destinations.
