Are you nearing retirement? Are you careful with your money? Are you tired of long winters and interested in knowing more about Canada's most southerly location? Do you want access to the best of city and country life with excellent regional health care, farmers markets, wineries, golf, bike trails, and both new and historic neighbourhoods? Do you want to watch the Stanley Cup Champions, the Detroit Red Wings, play hockey in person? Retire in Windsor Essex and live the life you imagine!
Retiree's typically live on a fixed income and look for ways to improve their quality of life and keep to their budget. For many retirees their principal residence is their largest investment. The 2008 Spring Housing Market Report by CMHC (Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation), Canada's Federal Housing agency, stated the average resale house price in Toronto was $394,000, while the average resale house price in Windsor was $159,164. In this comparative snap shot, average house prices were 60 % less in Windsor. Can you imagine selling your home in the GTA, finding a comparable retirement property in the Windsor Essex area, and putting 60 % of the value of your Toronto home into the bank? Imagine the possibilities this money could provide: a GIC to earn extra retirement income, money for your children to buy their first house, a trip abroad, or new dream house for you?
Whether you choose a small town getaway, waterfront property, country estate, riverview condo or loft, there is a perfect property for you. There are growing retirement communites on the shores of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, and in the City of Windsor. Windsor has a population of 218,000 and sits on the Detroit River opposite the skyline of downtown Detroit. For sports fans Windsor Transit runs game day buses through the tunnel to Joe Louis Arena, Comerica Park and Ford Field. Windsor is a home to a vibrant symphony, new art gallery, theatres, the University of Windsor, St. Clair College, cafes, film festivals, great shopping, fabulous public libraries, and Caesar's Casino and Conference Centre with world class entertainers. Downtown revitalization is centered on the city waterfront with parks, gardens, the Odette sculptures, bike and walking paths, cafes, and outdoor plazas hosting a variety of summer festivals. Windsor welcomes the ideas, passions, energy, and resources that retirees can bring to build stronger, more diverse, healthy and sustainable communities.
