Simcoe County — Lake Simcoe
Innisfil Real Estate
Lake Simcoe's western shore and Barrie's southern neighbour — Innisfil has grown from a quiet lakeside municipality into one of Simcoe County's most dynamic communities.
Living in Innisfil
Innisfil stretches along the western shore of Lake Simcoe south of Barrie — a long, narrow municipality that has experienced significant population growth as Barrie's housing costs pushed buyers south and as the GO Train Barrie corridor brought Toronto commuters into range. Friday Harbour Resort, a large marina and resort development on Lake Simcoe's western shore, has brought significant investment and luxury waterfront real estate to Innisfil alongside the more modest established residential communities of Alcona, Stroud, and Cookstown. The municipality's variety — from farm fields to lake resort — reflects a community in transition.
The GO Train at Barrie South station (technically on the Innisfil-Barrie boundary) connects Innisfil residents to Union Station in roughly 75-90 minutes. Lake Simcoe provides swimming, boating, and winter ice fishing. Average prices around 80,000 reflect Simcoe County's strong demand and the Lake Simcoe lakefront premium in the Friday Harbour area.
