My Home PEI

For many of us a relaxing vacation or a visit with relatives is the spark that starts our journey.
A drive through the Island's small picturesque towns and villages, where everyone waves and kids still
ride their bikes down Main Street, makes us long for the simple life. For a life of less stress and low crime.
Then there's the low cost real estate, one look at that cottage by the sea, the price tag, and the deal is sealed.
"Why we don't we move here!" we all say.

For many of us a relaxing vacation or a visit with relatives is the spark that starts our journey. A drive through the Island's small picturesque towns and villages, where everyone waves and kids still ride their bikes down Main Street, makes us long for the simple life. For a life of less stress and low crime. Then there's the low cost real estate, one look at that cottage by the sea, the price tag, and the deals sealed. "Why we haven't moved sooner" we all say.

Before you pull out your smart phone and text your boss, before you buy that low cost real estate by the sea, take a deep breath and resist the urge. You probably wouldn't skip the research when deciding on a new career or buying a new home and moving to PEI is not the time for being reckless . Money, lifestyle, kids, school systems, friends, careers, shopping and cultural activities are the key points that need to be considered carefully before making the big move to the island. Regardless the obstacles, more and more people are deciding in favor of living on PEI and their reasons include:

Low crime rate.
Less traffic and virtually no traffic jams or obstacles other than the occasional potato truck.
Low cost real estate.
Great outdoor recreation opportunities.
Fresh Ocean Air.
Less stressful overall, living on Prince Edward Island does offer a more relaxed lifestyle.
A great place for raising a family.
The Retirement lifestyle.
A great and inexpensive way to get to know the island is to subscribe to a local paper and one of the two large daily papers(this will give you an idea of our low crime rate and low cost real estate).Before you make the final decision to move try to visit the area several times in several different seasons to get a real feel for Island life.
