Off-season rentals near London, Ontario
Port Stanley is London's beach, thirty-five minutes down Wellington Road. Out of season it is also some of the cheapest furnished housing within an hour of the city — and it comes with a lake instead of a parking lot.
London runs on hospitals and schools, and both run on terms. Thirteen-week nursing contracts, four-month co-op placements, eight-month residencies, and a steady flow of people relocating into the city who need somewhere to live while they house-hunt. A furnished Port Stanley cottage from September to May costs less than a downtown one-bedroom and does not ask you to sign for a year.
