Leamington real estate
The gateway to Point Pelee National Park and Canada's greenhouse capital. Affordable housing, a strong agricultural economy, and lakeside parks make it a value destination.
Overview
Living in Leamington
Leamington is the gateway to Point Pelee National Park and the agricultural engine of the region, the "Tomato Capital of Canada" and the greenhouse capital of North America. Sitting on Lake Erie at the southern edge of the mainland, it's a working town with a strong economy, a lakeside setting, and some of the most attainable housing in Windsor-Essex.
That affordability, paired with a genuinely diverse, multicultural community and a growing food and tourism scene, makes Leamington a value destination for first-time buyers, families, and anyone priced out of the bigger centres. Windsor is roughly a 45-minute drive when you need it.

Leamington's lifestyle is shaped by the lake, the land, and a famously diverse community. Point Pelee National Park, the southernmost point of mainland Canada and a world-class birding destination during spring and fall migration, is on the town's doorstep, and Seacliff Beach and Park anchor summers on Lake Erie.
The town celebrates its identity out loud, from the annual Tomato Festival at Seacliff Park to a food scene that reflects its many cultures. It's an unpretentious, hardworking, welcoming place with real natural assets right at hand.
