Cobourg - Gates of Camelot
Community Description
The strains and stresses of today’s hectic lifestyle fall away as one enters the Gates of Camelot. An hour’s drive from Toronto, this charming planned community offers small-town charm and big-city convenience. Here, artfully crafted homes combine the charms of heritage properties with the modern advantages only B.G. Schickedanz can offer.
Historic Cobourg, a loyalist stronghold first settled in the 1780s, sits along the shores of Lake Ontario. This picturesque town is home to a stunning harbour boasting a marina, yacht club, expansive park and sandy beach. Local attractions include Victoria Hall, first opened in 1860 by the Prince of Wales and now home to the city’s concert hall and art gallery.
More than merely scenic, Cobourg was recently ranked among Money Sense Magazine’s Top Ten Places to Live in Canada. Called the “little town with a big heart”, Cobourg features about 1000 businesses across a diverse range of sectors. Linked to Toronto by the 401 and VIA rail commuter service, Cobourg also provides easy access to the vibrant cities of Oshawa in the east and Peterborough in the north.
