Why Build in Port Williams?

Full Municipal Services
Port Williams operates its own water and sewer utilities serving 500+ customers. Recent $1 million federal-provincial-municipal investment upgraded infrastructure on High Street, supporting continued residential growth and development capacity.
Strategic Valley Location
Situated between Wolfville (5 minutes) and Kentville (10 minutes), Port Williams residents enjoy easy access to Acadia University, Valley Regional Hospital, and regional shopping while living in a quieter village setting.
Affluent Community Profile
Median household income of $88,000 significantly exceeds provincial average. Established families and professionals create stable, reliable tenant pool for quality rental housing.
Lower Construction Costs
Kings County's 0.85x cost multiplier compared to HRM means significant savings on construction. Combined with Housing Accelerator Fund fee waivers, investors can achieve strong returns on well-located properties.
