Orangeville, ON

Orangeville is a town in south central Ontario, situated on the outer fringes of the Greater Toronto Area. With a small town charm set against a background of picturesque landscapes, as well as booming entrepreneurial and employment opportunities, it’s no wonder Orangeville is seeing increased immigration. Our Orangeville Livability guide will show you all the reasons why.

Ideally located on the northwest edge of the GTA, Orangeville residents can take advantage of the thriving economy in Toronto while enjoying a lower cost of living and housing that is significantly more affordable. It’s also easy to get around to the rest of the GTA as the city is served by Orangeville Transit within the town while GO Transit provides bus services to Brampton.

In addition to serving as a commuter area to the GTA, Orangeville’s proximity to the economic hub and great transport lines makes the town an ideal place to start a business. The town offers competitive tax rates and other incentives to encourage entrepreneurs. And with most of the workforce having a post-secondary degree, both employment and hiring opportunities are bound to grow. Additionally, the town is within commuting distance to many renowned universities and home to Georgian College campus. This makes it ideal for mature students hoping hone their skill set. For younger students, Orangeville is also served by a network of public and private schools. And with all the recreational activities they’ll have at their fingertips, your children are bound to have a well-rounded education.

What most residents enjoy the most about living in this beautiful town is the great Canadian outdoors and the many recreational activities they make possible, so no Orangeville guide would be complete without mentioning these. Island Lake attracts visitors to row, sail, bird-watch and camp. Apart from exploring the hiking and bicycling trails, you can go play golf at one of the many courses, or go skiing and snowboarding with the entire family. The most popular spots within the city include the Downtown neighbourhood’s charming historic district, lined with antique shops, quirky restaurants and curated shops.
