Looking for a home — or a second home — near the water?

If you’re considering eastern Canada, have a look at this recent 纽约时报 real estate feature 关于镇 lunenberg, 新斯科舍省.

位于约 50 英里 (90 千米) southwest of 哈利法克斯, Lunenberg and its surrounding communities apparently have an active second home market. Lunenberg’s “Old Town” was also named a protected 联合国教科文组织世界遗产 在 1995.

据 时报 文章, basic summer cottages in the area start at $150,000 加元 (135,000美元), but elaborate waterfront properties run CAD$1 to 2 万.

The sailing, 他们说, 是无价的.
