Perth

About an hour southwest of Ottawa, Perth is a beautifully preserved heritage town that feels like it’s stepped out of a storybook. With its limestone buildings, historic downtown, and vibrant arts scene, Perth is both picturesque and full of life.

Set along the Tay River, Perth features charming boutiques, antique shops, cafés like Perth Pie Co. and Sunflower Bake Shop, and fine dining at Fiddleheads and The Stone Cellar. Local landmarks like Stewart Park, Code’s Mill, and the Perth Museum make it a cultural destination as much as a great place to live.

The town is popular with retirees, remote professionals, and families looking for a relaxed pace with great schools and healthcare. New residential developments are blending with historic homes, making Perth a balanced option for lifestyle and investment.
