Arcadian Students

Georgian Drive is a north Barrie neighborhood around Georgian College, set inland from Kempenfelt Bay and shaped by residential streets, campus-area services and major roads. Barrie’s four-season climate brings snowy winters and warm summers, while nearby parks and the city’s waterfront offer room for outdoor breaks. Georgian College is the area’s defining landmark; the downtown core and Lake Simcoe shoreline are a short drive away. Everyday options include cafés, takeout and practical shopping along Bayfield Street and nearby corridors, with more dining, arts and nightlife in central Barrie. Local buses connect the neighborhood with other parts of the city, and Highway 400 provides regional road access. For Georgian Drive, the median rent is $2,300 per month, with a typical range of $830 to $3,100.
