A beautiful and inexpensive place in North America where
oceanfront and lakeside lots can be had for as little as $10,000
(or a charming 3-bedroom home on several acres can be yours for
under $50,000). Sound like a dream? It's not. This slice of
Heaven does exist. Nestled in the North Atlantic on Canada's
east coast, Nova Scotia is a little-known paradise steeped in
Scottish, Irish and English history. For the potential
expatriate or retiree, Nova Scotia has a lot to offer...cheap
real estate, a low cost of living, unspoiled natural
environment, friendly people and lifestyle opportunities to suit
virtually every taste. Coastal property prices are among the
lowest in North America and with the local government rolling
out the red carpet to newcomers, it has the potential to become
North Americas next great retirement haven.
Nova Scotia has long been a favorite escape for savvy Canadians
and Europeans, yet few Americans live or retire in this
secretive outpost. Why? Well, perhaps it's because Nova Scotia
isn't a destination you stumble across by accident. Almost
completely surrounded by water, it lies hidden between the
Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Fundy, the Northumberland Strait, and
the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Canadas second-smallest province (21,425 square miles), Nova
Scotia is about half the size of Pennsylvania with a population
of just under 1 million people. Its craggy 4,600-mile coastline
is dotted with quaint fishing villages, lighthouses and working
seaports. Over 3,800 islands lie off its shores (some are for
sale); the largest being Cape Breton, which is nearly a quarter
size of mainland Nova Scotia. Most of Nova Scotias population
is concentrated along the coast. The largest city is the
capital, Halifax, in which about 40% of the provinces
population lives (much of the interior is heavily forested and
sparsely populated). The area's most famous part-time residents
are Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Roger
Moore, and Alan Arkin, all of whom have summer homes here.
Live the Good Life...stress free Nova Scotia is one of those
places that can seduce you through its sheer natural beauty. The
seemingly endless stretches of picturesque coastline, a lush
green countryside, the beautiful colors of autumn, and the
friendliness of its people, make it one of the most livable
places in North America. Nova Scotia has a bit of something for
everyone: old-world European architecture, everything is close
to the water, New England-style charm, great restaurants and
leisure opportunities, and slow-paced towns that haven't changed
much since the 19th Century, where fishing and enjoying the
outdoors is a way of life. The climate is another plus. Summer
temperatures range from the mid 60s to the low 80s, with the
winters being much milder (with less snow) that you'd expect to
see north of the border. Like the United States, Canada has a
fully democratic system that respects individual rights and
freedoms. In fact, Canada has some of the strictest personal and
financial privacy laws in the world.
Compared with many places in the United States, Nova Scotia
enjoys a low crime rate, with incidents of violent being
remarkably low. Americans don't need a visa to spend up to 180
days as a tourist in Canada and non-citizens may buy property
without restrictions.
Live the good life on less than $25,000 a year. Besides the fact
that there's no such thing as a rat race in Nova Scotia, you can
legally enjoy perks that are forbidden at home (such as being
able to smoke genuine Cuban cigars). Its biggest asset is its
cost of living. Youll pay $12 a month for cable TV and $28 a
month for home telephone service (or use a public payphone for
