Lasalle, Ontario Apartment & House Rentals

The Town of LaSalle is lucky to still have a small but substantial amount of land consisting of Carolinian woods, provincially important wetlands, and tall grass prairie areas in an area of Ontario with less than 4 percent tree cover for the entire province. Approximately 7% of all land within the Town of LaSalle’s corporate boundaries is forested and/or includes plant species and wildlife habitat that is considered a "natural heritage area" from a biological point of view. Natural heritage areas are characterized as locations that are relatively undisturbed and that maintain certain ecological functions such as providing wildlife habitat.

Residents of LaSalle have historically faced a lower unemployment rate than elsewhere in the province with an average unemployment rate of less than 5% in 2006. The majority of the population is employed in sales & service professions, business, finance and management. Not surprising, given the concentration of manufacturing firms in the area, more than 28 per cent of the population of LaSalle works in the retail industry, much the same as in the industrial sector. This is good for families considering houses in LaSalle, a natural environment and low unemployment are essentials for a good family start.
