Amenities
Quality accommodations may be had for students, young professionals, families, retirees, or persons requiring assisted living services — creating a diverse population of young and old alike. Two retirement/assisted living residences cloak the Downtown as do a variety of second-floor residences, apartments, and lofts. Presently, more and more properties are being considered for residential accommodations for those who enjoy living in the vibrant downtown surrounded by shopping, services, entertainment, and cultural amenities. A community unto itself, Downtown North Bay is growing!
