Moving to Orangeville?
Orangeville posseses a proudly perserved culture and heritage. Mature trees and historic buildings and homes line the main streets of the town, which feature an endless variety of restaurants, a restored Opera House and plenty of shopping opportunities.  As you wander through the streets, you will see many unique tree carvings, part of the Art Walk of Tree Sculptures, designed to give trees new life after they have been declared beyond hope.  Orangeville also offers a continually expanding multi-use trail system. 

Orangeville is located at the headwaters of the Credit River system and is surrounded by picturesque communities.  The current population is approximately 28,000 residents.

What's Great About Our Area?

We asked our clients to tell us what they like about our area--their favourite parks, community events, restaurants, gyms, etc.  Here is what they have to say...

The most amazing thing about Orangeville is the numerous beautiful hiking trails--the Mono Cliffs and the many trails in Hockley Valley as well as the Cararact Falls.  Hiking and exploring the area is one of our favourite weekend family activities!  We love Monora Park to just go for a quick family hike or for a picnic.  We love Joppa Lounge for coffee and we're very excited to have 2 sushi places to choose from in Orangeville--Rebekah Sushi being our favourite!  Our favourite restaurant is One99 but we also love the Mono Cliffs Inn, Thai for You and South88.  Also, the blues and jazz festival is full of great music and fun for the whole family!  Orangeville is full of all the modern conveniences and the incredible beauty of nature.  It is the best of both worlds! -Hannah and Shawn Campbell

  

Originally from beautiful Muskoka we are now happy to call this area our home.  It has the perfect combination of outdoor activities, nature, arts and culture, shopping, a deep sense of environmental responsibility, recreation and beautiful homes all within a quick commute to the city.  The best local park is the one on Ashwood on Purple Hill.  The kids can play on the beautiful playground and then we can head into the conservation area and hike all the way to the lake.  It's gorgeous!  Coffee at Mochaberry is a must!  Oooh and at Joppa!  Service and quality products are equally fabulous in both places.  Of course, if you need drive-thru--Starbucks!  One99 restaurant is my favourite here or anywhere.  We also love Greystones Inn, the Bluebird Cafe and Il Corso.  There are also a fair number of chain restaurants that are family friendly.  We are skiiers, so the Hockley Valley Resort is for us!  Great spa, great food, great service!  Although the MillCroft Inn is also pretty special!  Community events that we love include the lighting of the tree at Christmas, First Night, Jazz Festival, and the Buskers Festival, and the Dufferin Youth Festival of the Arts each year in May.  All of these days are special for our family and are just another reason why we love to live here.  Theatre Orangeville is a little jewel in the arts community here too!  Acts is a great facility for an active family!  Lots of sports programs for kids and grown-ups alike.  But, the best yoga is Barb Ferguson's "Yoga Fusion" run out of her home studio and Teen Ranch, Citrus Dance has been a great place for our kids.

What I like about Orangeville and always have is that you can walk up to a complete stranger on the street and say hello, or ask them what they are doing, or help them lift something into their car for them, and they will say hello back, tell you what they are doing, and say thank you for your help.  And they most likely will remember you and return the favour to you or someone else.

Since welcoming my two young daughters into the world, Orangeville has been re-invented for me.  We now embrace wonderful community events that involve us as a family unit...the Santa Claus Parade, Founder's Festival, Children and Youth Festival, First Night Celebration, as well as participating in family swims and library classes.  It's an entirely different Orangeville, eperienced from the eyes of a child!

My "look forward to every Friday morning" treat is when I go to Second Cup for a medium vanilla bean latte on my way to work!  This drink is the highlight of my Friday morning and then end of the work week, and even though I might occasionally have one another morning or afternoon, the Friday morning one tastes the best!  (Second cup has wonderful almond croissants and white chocolate raspberry scones too!)
-Ardith Merton


I commute to Toronto and with the highway 410 expansion it's going to get even easier!  Orangeville is a great spot to live when you don't want to live in the rush fo the city.The best park in Orangeville is Every Kid's!!!  They have a great splash pad, an easy to find location, and lots to do for kids of all ages!  The best place for coffee, drinks and night food is Second Cup and Starbucks--two essentials for good conversation locations!  My favourite restaurants are One99, the Bluebird, Rebekah Sushi and South88.  I enjoy community events like the Home and Garden show at the community centre, Candy Cane Festival at the hospital and the Market on Broadway.  My kids and I go to a mom and tot dance class at Citris Dance Club--it's great!
