We’re more than a Sarnia real estate agency and brokerage. We’re also advocates for choosing and creating a lifestyle that takes full advantage of everything that life in Lambton County has to offer.
The Basics
Sarnia is a beautiful, modern, mid-sized city in Southwestern Ontario with ample outdoor recreation, a thriving arts scene, friendly people, and stunning homes.
Though its history dates back more than ten thousand years, it wasn’t until the mid-twentieth century that Sarnia became something a boomtown. Its rich soil and easy access to harbours make it a major player in the steamship, energy, freight shipping, and agriculture industries.
Sarnia sits on the eastern bank of the junction between the Upper and Lower Great Lakes of North America. There, Lake Huron flows into the stately St. Clair River, which doubles as the Canada – United States Border, making Sarnia a touchpoint in U.S./Canadian commerce and an especially attractive choice for those who frequent Michigan or other parts of the Northern U.S.
Did you know that Sarnia is roughly…
2 hours from Hamilton and Mississauga
3 hours from Toronto
3 hours from Buffalo
5 hours from Chicago, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati
6-7 hours from Ottawa and Montréal
But while it’s easy to make a day trip to any number of major cities in Canada or the United States, you never really need to leave Sarnia at all.
With abundant arts and entertainment, fine dining, extensive shopping opportunities, endless outdoorsmanship, and robust economic commerce, Sarnia is an all-in-one city sporting the very best of a well-balanced, 21st-century life.
“Many of my clients moved to Sarnia because of Lake Huron. It’s a name known around the world, and yet it’s part of the local life I grew up in. It’s an absolute honour to help others discover Great Lakes living for themselves.”
– Andrew Howell

Culture
Known for its festivity, Sarnia shines especially bright during the winter holidays each year. The famous “Celebration of Lights” in Centennial Park is an award-winning spectacle of national acclaim.

Sarnia is also home to more than 10,000 full-time and part-time students at Lambton College, which offers a rich variety of two-year degree programs and certification courses.

Sarnia connects to the 2,100-kilometer Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, which stretches across the Canadian shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, Lake Huron, and the Niagara, Detroit, and St. Lawrence rivers. More than a hundred different communities connect to The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail, leading them to hundreds of parks, wetlands, forests, and beaches.

Meanwhile, Sarnia Transit provides public transportation and private charter transit by bus and shuttle. Drivers can use Sarnia’s major roadways to get where they’re going: Ontario Highway 402, U.S. I-94, U.S. I-69, the NAFTA superhighway, and beyond.
