Altstadt Von Niagara On The Lake

The beautiful and historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake has been a town of
firsts. It was the first capital of Ontario, had the first newspaper, the first
Masonic lodge, the first agricultural society and the first library, and was
where the Law Society of Upper Canada was founded. It was here that the first
anti-slavery legislation in the British Empire was passed.

The Sotheby’s International Realty Canada brand and Niagara-on-the-Lake are a
true reflection of a mix of heritage and culture. One of the defining elements
of Niagara-on-the-Lake, along with its preserved historic buildings, is the Shaw
Festival, a theatre company specializing in the plays of George Bernard Shaw and
his contemporaries. It is also the home to estate and cottage wineries producing
award-winning bouquets year after year. In the 1990s the town was named by the
international Communities in Bloom committee as Canada’s prettiest town. It is
hard to disagree with that sentiment. A nineteenth century historian said it
best when he wrote in the 1890s that Niagara is as near heaven as any town ever.

Over a century later, his words ring true! Our market area includes St.
Catharine’s, Pelham, Fort Erie, Grimsby, Wainfleet, Welland, Port Colbourne and
West Lincoln, Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake; all part of the Niagara
Escarpment designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990. The escarpment
includes some of Ontario’s best camping, swimming, fishing, boating, hiking and
viewing, and includes the Bruce Trail, Canada’s oldest footpath. The Niagara
escarpment creates a microclimate that allows the growing of viniferous grapes
(including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling). As a
result, the Niagara region is one of the best grape-growing regions in the
world.

The Niagara Parkway is the perfect scenic route to the world-renowned Niagara
Falls; more than a natural phenomenon. The city offers thriving nightlife,
one-of-a-kind sightseeing tours and adventure for all ages. Niagara has
increasingly become a golf destination and is home to the oldest golf course in
North America - the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club (1875). With all that the
Niagara region has to offer and our close proximity to Pearson International
Airport, St. Catharine’s District Airport and Buffalo Airport, owning a vacation
property is truly desirable for many of our clients. We are following our vision
of becoming the best-known marketer of luxury real estate in the Niagara Region
through our delivery of superior service and marketing savvy when managing our
