The Town of Georgina is the largest municipality in York Region (in size). The town is made up of several hamlets each one is unique in its own way. We have 52 kilometres of Lake Simcoe shoreline offering something for everyone. If you are looking for a home there are almost endless possibilities.

Georgina takes pride in providing recreation facilities and is in the process of construction “THE ROC” (Recreation Outdoor Campus). THE ROC will be a state of the art outdoor facility with soccer fields, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basket ball, volleyball, BMX/cycle park, rope park, skating pond and our tube and terrain park to be serviced with a snow making building. This complex is scheduled to be completed in 2011,

The Georgina Pioneer Village & Archives is located adjacent to the ROC. It officially opened in 1975 and is a heritage showcase for the community’s rich history. This 10 acre site is home to numerous building that interprets the history of Georgina between 1850 and 1920.

With the completion of the Hwy 404 extension to Ravenshoe Road, it will become easier for us to attract investors to our town. Georgina is an “up and coming” community and we believe that investing in Real Estate in our area is a positive move.

Lake Drive East extends all the way from Island Grove through Willow Beach and ends up in Jackson’s Point. This is also a designated walking and bicycle route.

When the ice is frozen solid, there are many Ice hut operators to choose from. There are snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, paragliding and many more activities going on. Respect Lake Simcoe.
