Painswick North is a large area in southeast Barrie, south of the southern shore of Kempenfelt Bay, and just south of Painswick North. The railway line forms the farthest eastern border, with Big Bay Point Rd at the north, Huronia Road to the west, and farmlands to the south. It is a thriving shopping and dining area, especially at Yonge St and Big Bay Point Rd. The area also offers a mix of housing: detached homes, townhomes, condos, and apartments. Lovers Creek, part of the Lake Simcoe watershed, and Lover's Creek Ravine, run through this area.
