I was recently asked by a soon-to-be resident what I like best about living in Nova Scotia. My answer was not as concise and to the point as I would have liked. Later, I found myself thinking about the very legitimate question and here's my list:

1. The Coastal Location...I need to be close to the ocean. A long walk along a beach is one of my favorite indulgences, and I partake often. It's a quality of life decision for me. It's also called location.

2. The Outstanding School District: Hands down this is why I am who I am today. It remains the main draw for many new residents.

3. The Country Setting in an Urban County: Halifax is the hub of the maritimes, but you don't have to go far to be in a country setting. Drive 20 mins in any direction and you'll see why tourist from all over the world come here yearly.

4. The Breathtaking Views: You do not have to own a view property to enjoy the spectacular vistas. A drive around the Peninsula offers views of the harbor, basin and a couple of lighthouses and if you venture a lil further sweeping coastline views and dazzling city lights views.

5. The Low Profile Attitude: This is not Toronto or even Montreal. It's quiet here.
