Nestled in the northeast corner of Barrie, the Georgian Drive area is one of rapid expansion, encompassing the ever-developing Georgian College and Royal Victoria Hospital campuses.
As Royal Victoria Hospital has expanded to include the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre, there’s been a rush for other medical services to get in on the action, and the area’s becoming a thriving one-stop-shop medical community. Georgian College’s campus is also along Georgian Drive and has become a major transit hub on the north end connecting passengers easily with the rest of the city.
The Georgian Drive area is renter-heavy, because many of the single-family homes have been converted to include second suites. Georgian College students looking for housing options close to campus make up a sizable portion of the tenants in this neighbourhood.
Along Bayfield and the 400 you can Live in the lively shopping district in Barrie. With a wide variety of stores and restaurants, this area is sure to be a quick walk or drive to any of your shopping needs. Following St. Vincent St north to the city limits brings you to beautiful Barrie Country Club and this entire neighbourhood is nestled around Barrie’s Little Lake.
