Base Living at Base31

Base Living at Base31 is a new master-planned community in Picton, Prince Edward County, led by PEC Community Partners. Located at 343 County Road 22, the community is part of the transformation of the historic Base31 site into a destination for living, culture, entertainment, and community.

The first residential neighbourhood, Hilltop at Base31, will feature approximately 450 townhomes, bungalows, and detached homes across three phases. Home sizes range from approximately 600 to 3,300+ sq. ft., with prices starting from $299,900 and expected closings beginning in early 2028.

Highlights at Base Living at Base31

Base Living brings a new kind of residential community to Prince Edward County. The long-term vision combines new homes with parks, trails, gathering spaces, culture, entertainment, and everyday amenities.

The larger Base31 master plan spans more than 750 acres of residential, commercial, and mixed-use development. More than 7,000 homes across multiple villages are planned as the community grows.

Unlike a typical new subdivision, Base Living is being planned around walkability and neighbourhood connection. Residents will be close to green spaces while staying connected to the existing B31 District, where live music, markets, art, food, and events are already part of the experience.

Hilltop at Base31 – The First Neighbourhood

The neighbourhood is designed around a “people over cars” philosophy. Garages are tucked along rear laneways in many areas, allowing front porches, landscaping, and pedestrian-friendly streets to shape the community.

A large central park and a growing trail network will connect residents with green spaces throughout the neighbourhood.

Hilltop is expected to include approximately 450 homes across three phases, including roughly 200 townhomes and 250 detached homes.

Current home options include:

• Urban Towns – from $299,900
• Mews Towns – from $399,900
• Bungalow Towns – from $499,900
• Mews Detached – from $629,900
• 38′ Detached – from $749,900
• 50′ Bungalow Detached – from $799,900
• 50′ Two-Storey Detached – from $929,900
• Home sizes from approximately 600 to 3,300+ sq. ft.
• 1 to 5 bedrooms
• 1 to 4 bathrooms
• One- and two-car garage options
• Traditional and rear-lane designs
• Expected closings beginning early 2028

Location & Prince Edward County Lifestyle

Base Living is located in Picton, in the heart of Prince Edward County, giving residents easy access to one of Ontario’s most distinctive lifestyle destinations.

Downtown Picton is only minutes away, while Sandbanks Provincial Park, beaches, wineries, breweries, restaurants, farmers’ markets, and waterfront destinations are all within easy reach.

Even better, Hilltop residents will be within walking distance of the B31 District.

B31 District – Culture Within Walking Distance

One of the biggest differences between Hilltop at Base31 and a typical new-home development is what already exists next door.

The B31 District has become a cultural destination for Prince Edward County, bringing together live entertainment, food, art, markets, and community events.

Restored WWII-era buildings now house destinations including The Commissary open-air market, the 1,500-capacity Drill Hall RBC Stage, and the Sergeants Mess Hall cabaret venue.

For future Hilltop residents, these experiences will be within walking distance.

That connection between new housing and an active cultural district gives Base Living a character that is difficult to replicate in a traditional suburban development.
