One consideration is that the lakes region is more than just a summer tourist location. It is really four seasons (ok - three if we discount mud season ).

We have owned in the region for about 15 years and come up regularly.
  • Fall in the lakes region is spectacular and boating season extends well into October.
  • Winter offers skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling, pond hockey tournament, sled dog races, Junior A & B hockey etc...
  • Oh yes, summers are pretty good too. :-)

When the day is done, it really boils down to a lifestyle decision. I don't try to rationalize it fiscally; I know that coming up here is great for quality of life and likely length of life (blood pressure). So, if you have the means, it is an amazing region.
