Located almost exactly half-way between the Equator and the North Pole (44º 39' N Longitude) Halifax is below the 49th parallel and at almost the same parallel as Portland, Maine. Halifax experiences some of the same climactic conditions as found in many European cities including London and Brussels.
It's a small city, but the people are wonderfully friendly, the surrounding countryside is beautiful and it has a great 'seafaring' history. It's also much more like the UK in many respects, i.e. sense of humour, drinking culture etc.
The main centre in Nova Scotia is Halifax, which is presently going through a "mini-boom" - low unemployment and lots of building. Unfortunately, that means that housing prices have gone up quite a bit over the last few years. A few years ago, MacLean's magazine, the national magazine of Canada (similar to Time or Newsweek) declared Halifax "The Last Best Place" to live in Canada (and the world).
Halifax offers the atmosphere of small coastal villages, country charm, and wilderness for which Nova Scotia is known.
Life revolves around the sea. A very safe environment for living and raising children.
Whatever your budget, there is an investment here for you. Whether it’s just a small building plot or a hundred acres, a cabin or a mansion, you will find it here.
Visitors will find lush vegetation and few, but absolutely delightful, people. You would be hard pushed to find more courteous, laid-back and helpful English speaking folk, only to pleased to welcome you to their Paradise. The air is crisp, clean and bracing.
A Yukon Prospectors finding gold in Rabbit Creek a century ago must have experienced the same excitement as modern day property seekers first landing in Nova Scotia. To say this small Province of Canada is the new Klondike is an understatement, for here you will find nuggets of opportunities just waiting to be picked up and exploited. Not just in real estate but also land and potential business ventures.
It's so beautiful you won't want to leave.
Beautiful One Day... Perfect The Next.
