Living/working in Newmarket, ON

Published

Hey! 
looking to chat with any nurses/hospital staff from the Newmarket, ON area. Long story short, my husband is up for transfer this Spring and he wants to move to Newmarket. I would love to get hired in at Southlake Regional Healthcare Centre. My question is: where the hell do you guys live? The cost of housing is INSANE! $600,000 for a three bedroom townhouse in insanity!! I’m coming from Edmonton/Northern Alberta and I can’t understand how anyone affords to live in the Newmarket area. Do you guys all commute long distances? 
Any insight into living in the area would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi! I currently work at Southlake and commute from Barrie. Considered moving to Newmarket when I first got hired but the drive isn’t so bad now and as you mentioned, the cost of houses there is crazy.

Definitely look outside of Newmarket, there’s lots of upcoming developments in the smaller surrounding communities.
