Why You'll LOVE it:
Why You'll HATE it:
Access to Nature
Situated along the Bighead River and Georgian Bay, there’s access to beautiful waterfront and a network of bike paths and hiking trails.
Further to the Hill
A short 20 mins to the ski hill, Meaford is a little further out. For Seasonal Winter rentals, this makes it a bit less attractive as a rental investment.
Affordability
In General, Meaford housing is a bit more affordable and offers more “bang for your buck” than Thornbury and Collingwood.
Quieter Downtown
Meaford’s downtown can feel a little dead at times: not every storefront is open for business. Its harder for independents to ‘make it’ in Meaford.
Hospital
Meaford Hospital keeps healthcare close to home. Owen Sound and Collingwood are the closest other options.
Transportation
Meaford is fairly spread out and it would be inconvenient to be without a vehicle. There is a transportation service for those with mobility-challenges.
Home Styles In Meaford
Someone should consider living in Meaford due to its quiet community, easy access to nature, easy commute to both Owen Sound and Collingwood, independent shops and great restaurants, and Music/Arts scene. This neighborhood is ideal for those who value a close-knit community, outdoor activities and unique (but limited) shopping and dining experiences.

A new state-of-art building, locally Georgian Bay Community School is referred to as “The Super School” for its combination of Pre-school, Kindergarten, Middle and Secondary School in one building, sitting on approximately 16.5 acres. This school offers French Immersion/extended French courses for its students.
There is a triple gymnasium, automotive/manufacturing and construction shops and a “cafetorium” with a stage.
Places of Interest
Meaford has a lot to offer both locals and visitors, whether you’re a shopaholic or nature-seeker – Meaford has it all!
A local favourite restaurant and absolutely packed on Wing night; The Leeky is the place to meet friends… bring your appetite!
Attracting big names and new favourites. No need to drive hours to the nearest city to get your Live Music or Theatre fix!
In my humble opinion, I think Meaford’s harbour is the prettiest in the area. Right on the boarder of Meaford and Thornbury is Christie Beach, a local favourite of families especially for its sandy beach and shallow waters where you can safely walk out and swim on the sandbars.
This whimsical boutique is a haven of beauty that could brighten the dreariest of days. It’s a treasure trove of fresh cut flowers, potted plants, and charming gifts galore!
8.5 acres of tranquil greenery bounded by the Bighead River, with great tobogganing in the Winter, this is a lovely retreat in town.
