The united counties cover six municipalities: North Dundas, North Glengarry, North Stormont, South Dundas, South Glengarry, and South Stormont. Population is fairly even across all six, each sitting between roughly seven and thirteen and a half thousand residents, without one dominant urban centre. A purchase, sale, or refinance in any of the six is priced identically and closed through the same process, so a South Stormont sale and a North Glengarry purchase move through Treadstone Law the same way.
