🏡 Living in Little Britain: Discover Kawartha Lakes’ Hidden Gem

Looking to make a move out of the city? More and more buyers are choosing Little Britain and Lindsay, Ontario for their charm, space, and slower pace of life — and it’s easy to see why. Located in the heart of Kawartha Lakes, these two communities are quickly becoming hot spots for people relocating from the GTA who want the best of both worlds: peace and quiet without sacrificing convenience.  

I have been a Realtor for over 23 years and I was a lifelong resident of Durham Region... I owned homes in Oshawa, Whitby and Pickering and that's also where I raised my kids.  In 2019, I made the move from Whitby to Little Britain and have never looked back! 

🌾 Why Move to Little Britain?

The real estate market in Kawartha Lakes has exploded in recent years, especially in Little Britain, as city dwellers seek more space, privacy, and affordability. These communities offer a genuine small-town lifestyle — with local shops, farmers' markets, great schools, and unbeatable access to nature — all within 90 minutes of Toronto.

Buyers love:

• Spacious rural properties with scenic views

• Affordable homes on large lots compared to the GTA

• Safe, friendly neighbourhoods perfect for families

• Reliable high-speed internet for remote work

• A slower pace of life and strong sense of community

Even though Little Britain is a smaller community in the Kawartha Lakes, there is still a surprising number of amenities including a Grocery Store with LCBO/Beer (coming soon), Post Office, Pharmacy, British Candy Store,  2 Auto Repair Shops, an Arena, Pub/Restaurant as well as Dr. George Hall Public School and the Trans Canada Trail perfect for long walks.

Living in Little Britain isn’t just about the home — it’s about lifestyle.  You’ll find countless ways to enjoy the outdoors, connect with the community, and embrace small-town life:

• Grab homemade treats at the Little Britain Bakery

• Enjoy farm-fresh produce at the Lindsay Farmers’ Market

• Spend a day boating or fishing on  Lake Scugog 

• Go for dinner at any number of restaurants or catch a show at Academy Theatre all in downtown Lindsay (only 20mins away)

• Hike, snowmobile, or ATV the many nearby trail networks

• Golf at Lindsay Golf & Country Club or explore local parks

As housing prices soar across Toronto and Durham Region, buyers are discovering the value and lifestyle offered by the Kawartha Lakes real estate market. In fact, we’re seeing a steady stream of people relocating from the GTA every year — especially those looking for:

• Affordable real estate with more space

• Remote work options in quieter communities

• Safe neighbourhoods to raise a family

• The chance to own a home with land, a garage, or a shop

• The slower, simpler life of country living

And with easy access to Highways 35, 7, 401, and 407, commuting or visiting the city is totally doable — but trust us, once you're here, you won’t want to go back.
