Living in Essex
The Town of Essex sits in the middle of the county and reaches south to Lake Erie. It is made up of several distinct communities: Essex Centre along Highway 3, Harrow to the south, the lakeside village of Colchester, and part of McGregor.
Its central location puts Windsor, Kingsville, Leamington and Amherstburg all within a reasonable drive, which appeals to households with commutes in different directions. Homes include established in-town neighbourhoods, newer subdivisions, lakefront properties and farms.
The southern part of the municipality is the heart of the Lake Erie North Shore wine region, with wineries, farm markets and the beach and harbour at Colchester.

It tends to suit families, households commuting in different directions, lake and cottage buyers. The right fit depends on your budget, commute and lifestyle, and Yvonne can walk you through how Essex compares with nearby communities.
What costs should I budget for when buying in Essex?
