Base Living

Honouring Ontario Veterans means helping create more options for living with ease and dignity.

Eligible Veterans and their families can receive up to $3,000 in financial assistance over a twelve-month period through the Soldiers' Aid Commission, put toward the things that make a home feel like home.

That includes help with home repairs, furniture, moving costs, and first and last month's rent. Real, practical support for the people who gave so much.

If you or someone you know may qualify, this is worth looking into.

PEC carries more than 225 years of history - and six museums to prove it.

The Exhibition Hall at Base31, Macaulay Heritage Park, Ameliasburgh Heritage Village, Wellington Heritage Museum, Mariners Park Museum, and Rose House Museum are the keepers of the stories, artifacts, and buildings that shaped this place, from its Indigenous roots to its Loyalist settlers, its working waterfronts to its farming families.

Base Living is part of a new chapter shaped by that same character and spirit. As the community continues to grow, the goal remains the same: creating homes that honour where Base31 has been while making room for the future of Prince Edward County.

Did you know the County is home to 40+ wineries?

For a few short weeks each May, Prince Edward County is in full bloom.
Slow down, take the scenic route, and discover where you can stop and smell the lilacs.

At Base Living, we understand the importance of community and how this impacts the spaces you use every day. Our villages will be part of our Communication Association, whereby homeowners benefit from access to shared amenities, maintained common areas, and organized governance that helps protect property values and foster a sense of community.

Future homeowners at a Base31 village can expect access to several amenities including a future clubhouse, wellness amenities, events, communal gardens, gathering spaces, and ongoing programming, all supported collectively by the contributions of the residents who live here.

A new kind of community is taking shape in Prince Edward County and we want to build it with you.

Base Living is envisioned as a collection of thoughtfully designed villages rooted in connection, creativity, and a way of life that feels truly different from anywhere else in Ontario. It’s a celebration of the County as it is today and everything it can become.

As we continue shaping what’s next at Base31, your input matters.

For many people, retirement isn’t about slowing down. It’s about finally having the time to live the way you’ve always imagined.

More mornings outdoors. More time for hobbies, creativity, and exploring new places. More opportunities to connect with neighbours who quickly become friends.

That’s part of what’s drawing so many active retirees to Prince Edward County. Great food and local wineries, arts and culture, beautiful landscapes, and a strong sense of community all make it a place where life can feel both relaxed and full.

At Base Living, we’re thinking about that next chapter too, creating communities that feel connected to the County and the people who call it home.

For those already living in PEC, what do you enjoy most about this stage of life in the County?

A strong community can make all the difference when raising a family.

At Base31, places like The Hub Child & Family Centre help support parents and children through every stage. From programs and resources to welcoming spaces where families can connect, learn, and spend time together, it’s the kind of support that helps a community thrive.

It’s one of the many things that makes the County such a meaningful place for families to put down roots.

For those raising families in PEC, what local programs or spaces have been most helpful for you?

One of the things people quickly come to appreciate about life in Prince Edward County is the night sky.

Away from the bright lights of the city, clear evenings often mean you can actually see the stars. It’s a small reminder of the slower pace here, and a chance to pause, look up, and take it all in.

Whether you’ve lived in the County for decades or are just beginning to imagine calling it home, the simple beauty of a PEC night sky never really gets old.
