Grand Bend has long been Southwestern Ontario’s premier coastal escape, drawing retirees from London and the Kitchener-Waterloo area who transition their seasonal beach houses into permanent retirement havens. However, while seniors make up 55% of Grand Bend’s year-round population, a critical gap exists in the local housing landscape. When health or mobility needs change a decade down the road, residents are often forced to leave their friends and move back to the city due to a lack of supportive housing options. We chose to build here to break that cycle; by introducing a true continuum of care with independent rental townhomes and apartments, and future supportive care, we are ensuring that seniors can age beautifully in place without ever losing their vital connection to the beaches, trails, and community they love.

About Us Real Places For Real People Real Places Inc. was founded in 2025 to develop, own and operate seniors rental housing. Today’s seniors lack affordable choices in the current housing market and many are finding themselves staying longer than they would like to in their current home while finding it increasingly difficult to manage the demands of full home ownership. But there are few economical alternatives for downsizing and reducing maintenance and upkeep. Real Places aims to fill this gap in the housing market in southwestern Ontario.
