The neighbourhood

The Orillia neighborhood on Laclie Street offers convenience. You can walk to Lake Couchiching Park and Orillia's historic downtown, with local shops and a Farmers' Market. The residence provides an in-house hair salon, secure access, and an outdoor courtyard. Public transportation is easy with a nearby bus stop. The "Laclie" route runs every 30 minutes to the downtown bus terminal. Orillia Wheelchair Limousine Service (OWLS) is available. Laclie Street reconstruction finished November 2024, and the bus route is back to normal. Beyond the home, the City of Orillia's Active Living Centre offers programs like Tai Chi, Ukulele, and bus trips. Enjoy biking trails, Couchiching Beach Park for swimming and picnicking, and water activities on Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe. Laclie Street has faced concerns. It was identified as one of Ontario's worst roads due to potholes and congestion, despite reconstruction. Residents have noted speeding and a "dangerous" intersection at Brant and Laclie Streets. Crossing guards are typically present at school zones like Brant and Laclie.
