Peterborough feels like a city shaped by water. The Otonabee River runs right through town, feeding into a chain of lakes and the historic Trent-Severn Waterway. That connection to nature is everywhere—whether you’re cycling along riverside trails, strolling through Jackson Park, or gathering at Millennium Park to catch a summer concert by the marina. Downtown balances calm energy with an eclectic vibe, thanks to a mix of indie cafés, vintage shops, and lively pubs that keep the core buzzing day and night.

The city offers renters a range of apartment communities that suit different tastes. Downtown high-rises and converted lofts appeal if you want to be close to restaurants and nightlife, while townhome-style communities and low-rise buildings can be found in quieter neighbourhoods. Many apartments sit within walking distance of parks or the river, making it easy for you to enjoy the outdoors just steps from your front door.
