Queens County

At the Island’s midpoint is Queens County, offering the best of land and sea. The quaint fishing villages and rural communities of this area were the source of inspiration for L.M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables.TM In the very setting that she painted with words, experience pristine beaches, a network of wooded and coastline parks and trails, lively concerts and events and neighbors who genuinely care are your well-being.

Thanks to the Island’s rich, red soil and dedicated farmers, fishers, craft brewers and distillers of the area, there is a plethora of fresh culinary options, especially during summer and fall.

In the quiet that follows the tourism season, locals don’t simply hibernate; they enjoy an entirely different side of Island life. Arts and theatre guilds, community suppers and craft fairs, music, sports and recreation clubs and programs offer a chance to meet people and appreciate the warmth of community.

Queens county living offers the chance to get away from it all and return home each day to nature and wide open spaces as your back yard. It’s an easy commute to either Summerside or Charlottetown making this region an ideal place to plant roots.

Health care facilities

PEI has five primary care networks spread across the province with health centres in each network . This area has one health centre in Hunter River and a satellite location in North Rustico.

“PEI fits the bill because it provides a good job, access to good schools, a good mix of town and country lifestyle, and a relatively low cost of living.” – Dr. Padraig Casey, a resident of rural Queens County

“You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores or in the fields or along the winding red roads of Prince Edward Island in a summer twilight when the dew is falling and the old stars are peeping out…”
