Parry Sound housing plan calls for 2,400 new homes and diverse options

The District of Parry Sound must build over 2,000 new housing units in the next decade to meet demand. The current supply is dominated by single-family homes (87%), with few apartments or multi-unit buildings, limiting rental and affordable options. Many existing homes are old, requiring costly repairs and upgrades. Rental availability is low, causing price volatility and limited choices, especially for families needing larger units.
