Young professionals are a sect of folks ripe for relocation, looking for areas to keep them busy outside of their work lives and able to experience many things in the way of entertainment. They also want good economic and networking opportunities.
They must take into account monthly property prices, cost of living, and what their work life will look like in conjunction with the city around them.
Next time you’re looking at Calgary homes for sale, consider these areas to move to that have a lot to offer young professionals.
Quebec City
This is the eleventh of the largest cities and the seventh of the largest metropolitan areas in Canada. Residents of Quebec City can enjoy all four seasons, making it the perfect place for people who enjoy outdoor activity throughout the year.
Sports teams abound in the area of Quebec City for those who like to attend events. There are also many historic sites, art galleries, and entertainment venues for people looking to immerse themselves in local culture.
Ottawa
The capital city of Canada is among the most educated populace in the country as well. It’s filled with top colleges and universities, keeping the nightlife young for folks who may have just left college and are embarking on their career path.
Ottawa also has a lot of great festivals to enjoy all year: the Canadian Tulip Festival, Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, Ottawa International Jazz Festival, and Folk Music Festival.
Calgary
Calgary is situated in Canada’s heartland, affording residents stunning mountain views. Tech companies have increasingly moved in here over the years, making it a great place for career advancement.
Halifax
The capital of Nova Scotia is slow-paced and easily walkable and bikeable. There are hiking trails and places to canoe, kayak, and fish.
The Waterfront is a great area to spend off-time, where you can shop and eat at many places and enjoy a night out on the town.
St. John’s
The capital city of Newfoundland is a great place to go if you’re looking to invest in real estate. Prices on the housing market have decreased; the average house sold for $340,000 in 2015 but by 2020, the average home sold for $300,000.
St. John’s offers activities on both land and water. You can go boating and whale watching, or visit one of the many art galleries or shops in town. George Street is a good spot for a night out.
Kingston
Kingston is a good choice for those who want the feel of a city without actually living in one. It is midway between Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec, so you have a quick trip to either place at your fingertips.
Much like Ottawa, there are many festivals to enjoy here, such as the Kingston WritersFest, Limestone City Blues Festival, and the Kingston Buskers Rendezvous.
Saskatoon
Saskatoon is consistently ranked as one of the most livable, and that makes it on the rise as far as we’re concerned.
Agriculture is the main industry, and the pace of life is slower. There’s a low cost of living, great scenery, and friendly neighbors, making it an idyllic place to settle down.
