Why Should You Invest in King City Real Estate?
The community of King City rests in beautiful and protected greenspace, near highway 400 and home to a Go Rail station. It’s a wealthy, educated part of a greater township that has a thriving agricultural economy, with the city itself home to a number of consultancies and small professional businesses catering to the region and to the GTA. A third of King Township is on the Greenbelt, with the remaining amount resting on the Oak Ridges Moraine, with a quarter of all its area covered in forest land. This all contributes to the area’s high quality of life, because much of the county exists in protected, scenic greenspace with hills, forests, and small lakes dotting the area. These protected areas and their trails make the land a frequent destination for tourists, cyclists, and overall gives the area a rich agricultural land to work on, and a beautiful environment to live in. King City is different from King township. King City is a smaller, dense and highly wealthy part of the township with a population of about 6500 since 2016, with the expectation of it reaching 12,000 by the end of 2021. The township of King meanwhile has had an overall population of about 25,000 people since 2016. It’s fast-growing, with its population numbers having increased substantially since 2016 into 2021 in estimates, and with great wealth enjoyed by its residents with a median household income of about $200,000 by a 2015 census. King Township is made up of several grouped neighbourhoods or smaller towns which each have their own personality, economic industry, and price ranges. Its residents are older on average, and are a well educated mix of older professionals and retirees.

Businesses, like ones specializing in handling tax exist in the communities to serve them, and consultancies take the expert skills of its older, well-careered residents and put them on offer to the GTA. Agriculture is also a major industry in the area, with the Holland Marsh Specialty Crop Region offering 7,000 acres of land dedicated to farming specialty crops like Asian vegetables, thanks to its marsh qualities and numerous greenhouses to facilitate year-round crop production. This is an essential part of the land’s economy, and gives King County the title of Ontario’s Soup and Salad Bowl.
