COMMUNITY GUIDE

Strathroy

Small-town warmth, 25 minutes from London

Community Overview

Strathroy is a growing town in Strathroy-Caradoc with a genuine main street, established tree-lined neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions on the edges of town. It appeals to first-time buyers, families and people leaving larger cities for more space without giving up amenities.

The Real Estate Market

The Strathroy market spans century homes near downtown, 1970s–1990s family neighbourhoods and new builds on the north and east sides. Buyers typically compare Strathroy with London for value per square foot; sellers benefit from steady demand from relocating London buyers.
