Location & Neighbourhood
Barrie offers relaxing lakeside living that is especially desirable to retirees but suitable for families and students of Georgian Bay College. It also offers great parks, shopping, culture, and more, making it perfect for people from all walks of life.
This is a car-dependent city, which means that residents require cars to get around and run daily errands. Some bus routes are provided by Barrie Transit, the closest of which runs along Ferndale and Dunlop, 1.5 kilometres away from the condo site. However, Allandale Waterfront GO Station is a 7-minute drive away, providing access to the Barrie Line. Additionally, drivers will be an easy 5 minutes from Hwy 400, which connects Barrie to the Greater Toronto Area. To get to Downtown Toronto from here, it’s 90 minutes by car or less than 2 hours by the Barrie GO Line.
Residents will find plenty of everyday essentials within a 10-minute drive from home. Major grocers like Food Basics, Zehrs, and No Frills can easily be found, as well as local ethnic stores stocked with Mediterranean, Indian, and Afro-Carribean ingredients. Several restaurants line Dunlop Rd, a commercial corridor leading towards Downtown Barrie. Among the popular dining options nearby are Jey’s Burritos, Cottage Canoe Restaurant, and Ms P Yardie Jerk. There are also fast food staples like Wendy’s, Pita Land, and Subway
Barrie’s largest shopping centre is Georgian Mall. This two-level shopping destination sports nearly 150 retailers, including H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Shoppers Drug Mart, Hudson’s Bay, L.L. Bean, Sport Chek, and Indigo. It is less than 15 minutes away at the north end of town. In the other direction, another popular shopping mall is almost equally as close. Park Place is an outdoor mall featuring big box stores like Winners, Cabela’s, Marshalls, HomeSense, and DSW. It also sports an LA Fitness and The Rec Room, making it a worthwhile one-stop for shopping, workouts, and entertainment.
Barrie enjoys a convenient location by Lake Simcoe at the end of Kempenfelt Bay, meaning residents can enjoy beautiful parks, gardens, beaches, and endless outdoor activities throughout the warmer months. For example, residents of 642 Dunlop St W Condos will be minutes from Centennial Park, Sunnidale Park, and the Tiffin Centre for Conservation.
On top of that, they will also be able to enjoy many local golf courses and ski resorts that provide additional forms of recreation. Over one dozen highly rated golf clubs are within a 15-minute drive, including Barrie Country Club, Vespra Hills Golf Club, and The Wilds at Cedar Valley Golf Course. Snow Valley Ski Resort is 11 minutes away, offering 20 runs suitable for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. Horseshoe Valley is also less than 30 minutes away, offering more snowy fun. And, of course, Downtown Barrie is a short drive away, featuring plenty of arts and culture plus great dining options. Enjoying an active lifestyle is easy in Barrie.
Investors will want to note that Georgian College is a 10-minute drive from the condo, which provides a ripe opportunity to rent out units to post-secondary school students. The college’s leading and largest campus is in Barrie, and it attracts over 8,000 students a year.
