Country Quiet, City Close

About Keene

Keene is the kind of rural hamlet where the road narrows, the trees feel taller, and neighbours still wave from the shoulder. Set in Otonabee–South Monaghan Township just southwest of Peterborough, it reads as classic Central Ontario countryside: a small village core, surrounding concession roads, and a patchwork of fields and woodlots that keep the horizon open.

Life here is built around space—bigger yards, long driveways, and the everyday rhythms of rural living. Households skew to families who want room to roam, tradespeople and commuters who like being a quick drive from Peterborough, and older residents who appreciate the quieter pace without feeling isolated. With a walk score around 46, most errands are car-based, but the trade-off is calm streets, dark skies, and a strong sense of “everyone knows someone.”

Real estate in Keene leans heavily detached: modest village homes, newer builds on larger lots, and hobby-farm properties that blur the line between residential and rural. Buyers often come for value relative to Peterborough’s urban neighbourhoods—more land for the dollar, plus privacy—and stay for the lifestyle: weekend projects, gardens, trails, and the comfort of being near the city without living in it. Inventory tends to move in pockets, with the most competition for well-kept properties that offer turnkey interiors and usable acreage.

Market pulse

Keene’s for-sale market currently shows 65 active listings with a median asking price of $699,995, and homes have been listed for an average of 91 days so far, pointing to a market where buyers can take time to compare options across the wider city. With 13 new listings added in the past 30 days, inventory is being replenished, and pricing and pace can vary by area and housing type—often with more move-in-ready or larger rural-residential properties asking a premium while older or more renovation-ready homes tend to sit longer and invite negotiation.
