There was a time when the Niagara region was synonymous with Niagara Falls, the border connecting us to the US & the Casino. Cities such as St. Catharines, Niagara on the Lake, Vineland, Port Colborne, and Fort Erie were unknown to most of the tourists visiting from surrounding cities and the GTA.
Niagara was not considered a region that evoked excitement within the real investment community of Ontario that has always placed Toronto and GTA on the pedestal and rightfully so as those areas serve as major economic hubs. Living in the Niagara Region for the past 21 years I have observed an astounding transformation of the region in the past 10 years where Niagara’s housing market has rocketed to a spectacular pace. Building permits have been granted to every corner of the region and hidden gems have revealed themselves to be very lucrative for the smart investor.
