Baby cash cow. Side by side 2 unit in Historical Retirement Town of Perth. The two-bedroom unit rents for $600 per month, while the three-bedroom unit rents for $850 per month. Tenants pay their own Hydro and Heat (Gas). Each unit offers easy-care laminate flooring, tall ceilings, and preserved original wood. This property presents a great opportunity to occupy one unit while using the rent from the other to help offset a large portion of your mortgage right from the start. 2 Driveways - one on each side of the building for each tenant. Very large shed (see measurements on the survey). Just steps away, the scenic Tay Canal offers waterfront walks and links to the UNESCO-recognized Rideau Canal system. The duplex sits in Perth's walkable downtown, about 2 minutes from the Tay River Health Centre, Perth Medical Clinic, and Perth Family Medicine. Gore Street features more than 70 local boutiques, galleries, cafés, and specialty shops. Residents can also enjoy nearby trails along the Tay Canal, community events in Stewart Park, and local history at Last Duel Park, with farmers markets, the annual garlic festival, and the famous kilt run all just blocks away. Through the Tay Canal, Perth is connected to the Rideau Canal which is now the First World Heritage Site in the history of Ontario.

Where this property is
Where this address sits, matched against open government data.
Estimated from the house-number range along this road: the right block of the right street, not the exact building. No address file publishes this house.
Schools
The school boundaries this address is inside, and the schools nearest it. Boards redraw boundaries and cap programs — confirm with the board before this affects a decision.
Other schools nearby
By distance from this address, not school boundary — a school 400 m away can be in another school’s attendance area.

How the rating is calculated
EQAO — Ontario’s testing agency — publishes, for each school, the percentage of students meeting the provincial standard in Grade 3 and Grade 6 reading, writing and mathematics. The rating is the average of those percentages divided by ten. A school where 72% of students met the standard rates 7.2 out of 10.
Nothing is weighted or adjusted, and schools are not ranked against each other. Where EQAO withholds a result to protect the privacy of a small group of students, that measure is left out rather than counted as zero — so a rating built on fewer than six measures says so.
What it does not measure. It is one year of standardised testing in three subjects. It says nothing about teaching, programs, or whether a school suits a particular child, and it tracks neighbourhood household income closely enough that it partly measures the neighbourhood rather than the school. Treat it as one figure among many.

Percentages are of the 240 responses in this category. Statistics Canada rounds counts and withholds small ones to keep individuals unidentifiable, so categories with too few people to publish are absent rather than shown as zero.

If you rented it out
How this is calculated, and what it leaves out
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so the monthly rate here is (1 + rate/2)1/6 − 1. Most calculators use rate ÷ 12, which is the American convention and overstates the payment by tens of dollars a month.
Below 20% down, default insurance is mandatory and is added to the loan rather than paid at closing: 2.80% at 85% loan-to-value, 3.10% at 90%, 4.00% at 95%. It is unavailable at or above $1.5M, which is why 20% is a hard floor there.
Not included: vacancy, property management, capital repairs, income tax, and the fact that a lender qualifies you at a stress-test rate rather than the one you are quoted. This is arithmetic on the numbers above, not a mortgage approval or an opinion of what you can afford.
