Barrie Real Estate Overview

The city of Barrie is a city located in Central Ontario. Settlement of the area began in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the city itself named after participating British Royal Navy Officer, Sir Robert Barrie in 1833. Barrie has the appealing distinction of being both a bedroom community to Toronto and a waterfront city along the waters of Lake Simcoe. Residents of Barrie enjoy lakeside views, convenient public transit, All-season outdoor activity offerings, and a collection of colourful festivals.

Barrie’s popularity as a bedroom community began in the 1980s and 90s when the population nearly doubled. Barrie’s population has been rapidly rising ever since, sitting at over 140,000 as reported in the most recent census.
