CITY GUIDE
GREATER SUDBURY, ONTARIO
Greater Sudbury, commonly known as Sudbury, is located in the southeastern section of the province and is about halfway between the communities of North Bay to the east. Stretching over 3,228 square kilometres, the city is home to over 161,000 people. There are many lakes located in Greater Sudbury, the largest of which is Wanapitei Lake, and the city is surrounded by several provincial parks, including Killarney Provincial Parkon the shoreline of Lake Huron. The city’s smaller population and abundance of natural areas provide a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
Real Estate Market Overview
Real estate prices in Greater Sudbury are quite affordable, ranging from $200,000 to $350,000. Greater Sudbury offers a mix of affordable older homes and side-by-side dwellings, as well as more expensive, newer single-family homes, which are often located along the edges of the city and near Greater Sudbury’s many lakes. Condo options tend to be more common in the central section of the city, and commercial options are available in the northern and central sections. Vacant land often comes at a high price and is available mostly on the outskirts.
Rental Market
Due to increased supply and decreased demand over the past several years, Greater Sudbury’s vacancy rate has been climbing, ranging from about 4% to 5%. However, the high vacancy rate has not stopped rent costs from increasing slightly over the past couple of years. Larger buildings (those with more than 100 units) often have the lowest vacancy rates because of their tendency to be newer builds located in desirable areas, and rent costs for units in these buildings often reflect their attractiveness to renters. Depending on the area of the city, the average rent costs for apartments in Greater Sudbury range from $460 to $660 for a bachelor apartment, $660 to $870 for a one-bedroom apartment, $820 to $1,100 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $950 to $1,300 for a three-bedroom (or more) apartment.
