While urban living certainly has its advantages, some people long for a rural setting, where nature is only a stone's throw from the back porch. Fortunately, the Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry offer a variety of residential choices, from country estates to hobby farms to waterfront homes.
The rural, urban and hobby farm markets remains sturdy. For the last few years the townships surrounding Cornwall have posted higher growth rates than the City and well-priced hobby farms are scarce and in demand. Homes in smaller communities like Long Sault, Ingleside, Alexandria, Williamstown, Lancaster and St. Andrews continue to be well supported.

New home construction in the immediate outskirts of Cornwall remains positive, with several subdivisions reporting consistent growth over the last few years.

New home construction drops off significantly as the distance from Cornwall increases.
