When people talk about real estate investing in Ontario\u2019s university towns, cities like Waterloo, Hamilton, Kingston, and London usually take the spotlight.

That\u2019s why Zoocasa took a closer look at three of Ontario\u2019s smaller university cities: Niagara<\/a> (home to Brock University<\/a>), Peterborough<\/a> (home to Trent University<\/a>), and Windsor<\/a> (home to the University of Windsor<\/a>), which have similar-sized student populations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using local real estate data and current rent prices from Zumper.com, we found out which market offers investors the best combination of affordability, demand, and long-term growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n
