Welcome to Chartwell Bayview

Located in the picturesque city of Belleville, Chartwell Bayview is an intimate, traditional retirement residence offering independent living services that allow you to comfortably age in place. With spectacular, serene views of the Bay of Quinte, our home is known for its inviting atmosphere, strong local reputation, and superb amenities—including delicious dining with à la carte menus and a playful on-site ice cream parlour that brings joy to every generation. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the warm welcome of a close-knit, relaxed community where residents and staff share meaningful connections.

While our official address is at the intersection of Dundas Street West and Avondale Road in the charming town of Belleville, you’ll find our unofficial location as “on the shores of the beautiful Bay of Quinte.” Travel just a few minutes in any direction, and you’ll find everything you need: there’s Belleville Harbour and the historic downtown area with its quaint shops, services, medical clinics, and restaurants. Travel north and Quinte Mall’s 125 stores await, as does easy access to Highway 401. QHC Belleville General Hospital is six minutes away, and not far across the Belleville Bay Bridge is lovely Prince Edward County. Belleville is also perfectly positioned at just about the halfway point between Toronto and Montreal, and just over an hour’s drive from the U.S. border crossing at Thousand Islands.
