11 Cheapest Places in Canada to Buy a Home

9) Sudbury

Sudbury is the largest city in Northern Ontario and the average home costs $251,300. It has an interesting geographical appearance due to the 330 lakes within the city and the surrounding lower Rocky Mountains. Mining of local ore deposits is a major industry yielding nickel, copper and other metals. Unfortunately, that has released large amounts of Sulphur into the air causing acid rain which destroyed much of the vegetation. As mining has decreased as a revenue source, the finance, business, healthcare and technology industries have stepped in. The city has art galleries, theater companies, an interactive science museum and an annual film festival. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy more than 700 miles of snowmobile trails and 14 miles of hiking and biking trails. Residents mostly speak English, but there is a significant French-speaking population as well.
