Owen Sound Real Estate & Community Guide

Owen Sound is the largest city in Grey County, set in a valley at the head of Owen Sound bay on Georgian Bay, roughly two and a half hours from Toronto. Its housing is largely older: Victorian and Edwardian brick homes near the river and downtown, post-war bungalows on the east and west hills, and a smaller number of newer subdivisions and condos on the city’s edge. Grey Bruce Health Services hospital, Georgian College and a regional retail strip on the east side make it the service centre for Grey and Bruce counties.
