Is ST. CATHARINES the BEST City in Niagara to Move to?

If like us, you are attracted to the Niagara Region, but Niagara on the Lake is too expensive and Niagara Falls is a bit rough around the edges, St. Catharines may be just the right place for you to move to. St. Catharines is the biggest city in the Niagara Region and it has a lot of restaurants and shopping geared to locals rather than tourists. In this video we show you the PROs and CONs of moving to St. Catharines, Ontario, and show you a couple of homes for sale.

I have studied at Brock 1 year and lived in the downtown back in 2009, coming from France. I loved this city so much. People where very nice and friendly. Even though this is not a bike friendly city by european standards, I commuted by bike. I had good memories. I miss this place so much!

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks for your comment! Sounds like you had a wonderful time there.😊⭐️👍🏻

[@muthoniwanyeki8757]

This is an insightful video. Thank you for creating and sharing.

Thank you 🙏🏽 for the great narration, well-summarized! 😊

Thanks!😊👍🏻

Thanks for showing me ST. CATHARINES ...! I'm a international student who plan to study in Niagara college!

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Glad it helped you out finding out more about St. Catharines. Good luck with your studies!

[@angrejsingh7290]

I'm also an international student coming in August....may u tell me in which intake u come

[@roynesmargutierrez]

The city is getting better every year , I can see in the short future a bloom

[@benohana5817]

Hey, love the video and content created. If you can do some more Ontario towns that would be awesome. I'd love to see the following content from ya! port hope,Cobourg,Peterborough,Belleville,Kingston and other towns like Paris, Collingwood, Ornageville, Elora, and Fergus.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks, we will definitely add these places to our list! We did visit Collingwood and loved it!😊⭐️

[@carsologyy]

Very informative ❤

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thank you!

[@canadavey]

I was born and raised in Niagara and I spent a large portion of my life in St. Catharines (aka - "St. Kitts / St. Kitties"). It's a great city because you're close to everything and it has everything. Compared to the Toronto suburbs, in-town traffic is a breeze. There's something for everyone there, nightlife, restaurants, the out-doorsy type... Damn I really miss living there and I'd move back in a heart beat if I could! (Currently living in Toronto suburbs) 😭

[@StevieQ]

You somehow missed Port Dalhousie, which is easily the best part of town with a really nice beach, as well as the Welland canal. Also I've found that due to the limited traffic in the north end, and trails, biking feels quite safe even without bike lanes. Moved here 15 years ago and really love it for raising my kids.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks for the information! Well appreciated…😊⭐️👍🏻

[@cathieshea5605]

No I am aware of Port Dalhousie .That can be terribly busy also. Traffic can be horrible. Too many people in a tiny area.

[@p.s.anders]

Great fish and chips at the Port D. Legion.

[@Jigger2361]

WAS the best part...

[@peterwing3099]

Oops! You forgot Port Dalhousie: Heritage buildings, Lakeside Park, Great Restaurants, Old Welland Canal, Royal Canadian Henley Regatta!?

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks! So many things to see in the Niagara Region. 😃

[@dougiep2769]

I actually believe and this isn’t a knock on st. Kits at all but the falls is the city best set up for the coming economy. Lots of hotels that can be easily converted for housing and that gonna be essential moving forward

[@xxa455xx]

Will you show us Kingston Ontario OR Fort Erie in the future?

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

I’m always looking for new places to review. Those would be good cities to visit.

[@BenWinder108]

Yikes live there for 3 years couldn't wait to get out

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks for sharing. Where exactly did you end up next?⭐️

[@t.8936]

Where did you go? I live here. St. Catharines is nice, but sadly a lot of homeless here now. You don't want to leave the north end area.

[@Jigger2361]

Thank you for leaving, have a nice day

[@MrPatrick1414]

Perhaps once upon a time. St Catharines Politicians keep bleating on about affordable housing and the well-being of its citizens. yet the same politicians just voted in favour of raising property taxes by a whopping 10%. They are either blind to the plight of citizens or just don't care!

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

10% is a steep increase! I just read that 40% of property taxes go to the Niagara Regional Police.

[@John-bo1fo]

I’m planning to come to Niagara college. Is St. Catherine far from Niagara welland campus?

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Some people take classes at both Niagara College and Brock at the same time. You can get a bus to Niagara College from St Catharines but it would take a long time. Probably better to live in Welland near the campus and just visit St Catharines on the weekends.

[@John-bo1fo]

What about Niagara college on-the -lake campus. What’s the distance from St. Catherine? I want a place for work and study balance that’s why I’m opting for St.Catherine looking at your video.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

@@John-bo1fo The Niagara on the Lake Campus would be closer and easier to get to. The bus from downtown would take about 20 minutes.

[@John-bo1fo]

Okay thanks for your response

[@Jigger2361]

6 days trek with a mule

[@openshot]

i used to live there and i moved away to edmonton do to lack of work and high rent. if i wanted a good job i would need to spend almost 2 hours one way to get to work and i would be broke do to gas millage

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks for your comment. Commuting is certainly no fun!

[@John-bo1fo]

Is it easy to get houses in St. Catherine

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

The real estate market has slowed a lot in St Catharines but mortgage interest rates have gone up. If you want to see what things cost and what you will get for your money check out Realtor.ca

[@webdubois4142]

Nice.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Thanks for watching, and commenting.😊👍🏻

[@skyecloud968]

Not everyone says thanks to the bus driver. Edit: What constitutes a long line for these vegan donuts? From what I am seeing in the video, that is not a long line for a small shop. P.S. St. Catharines is nothing special, but when good stuff happens here, I start to wonder why. Why is Ice Cube coming to St. Catharines to perform? Why did they shoot a small part of the series Nikita that I used to love watching? I mean, the people in St. Catharines, to be honest, are not that friendly, but that's true in all parts of the country. The General Hospital is a place you definitely want to avoid, and usually, nothing good ever happens in St. Catharines, except what I mentioned to avoid. Not to mention that you need a vehicle to get around St. Catharines; nothing is within walking distance like in Toronto. The housing prices in St. Catharines are way too high for a city that is not like New York, Paris, Madrid, or any other places rich in history and culture.

[@Jigger2361]

umm the General closed years ago 😂 and nobody ever declared "Welcome to St. Catharines, the Paris of North America" 🤣

[@cathieshea5605]

I lived on Grapeview Dr and it has grown too much .Moved because of it .Not as friendly as Welland.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

What else do you like about Welland?

[@mctraveller8539]

When think st Catherines i think port Dalhousie

[@Jigger2361]

don't think that, it's a hot mess now

[@cutie3020]

Can you survive with a minimum wage job in this city?

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

You could, but you would probably have to rent a room in a house or share an apartment to get by….

[@p.s.anders]

Nice place to live, but lousy place to work. Employment is precarious at best. Don't know how the place survives really. If you love theatre, its a great place for theatre Arts. GCP, TCT, Firehall theatre. All great places for entertainment. Regional government is a burden, as you pay extra taxes. Lack of infrastructure between communities gave me incentive to move away.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Where did you end up going?

[@p.s.anders]

@@ShouldWeLiveHere Prefer not to say.

[@KEVINSINGH241]

You can never travel to toronto for 4 dollars bro what’re you on about

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

Megabus has sales if you book early! I just checked the website and there are lots of tickets available. It is actually $1 plus taxes and fees so $4. Our daughter took it many times.

[@Words_in_Action]

Downtown has lots of homeless and drugs are easily accessible.

[@ShouldWeLiveHere]

True- but didn’t seem to be as prevalent compared to other places we have visited.
