Situated on the beautiful north shore of Lake Ontario with a population of approximately 20,500, Cobourg has a deep and rich history. The heart of downtown Cobourg features Victoria Hall; an impressive stone landmark which opened in 1860 – a reflection of the industrial and commercial growth Cobourg was experiencing.
Today Cobourg is a sought after home for those looking to remove themselves from the densely populated Toronto and the Greater Toronto Areas, yet be close enough to quickly and easily access them.
Cobourg’s waterfront is second to none; a large flat sandy beach, boardwalks, a marina that is considered to be one of the best kept marinas on Lake Ontario and all a block away from the amenities of the downtown core.
