Being the Island's second largest city and the commercial and service centre for Prince County, Summerside is home to many and diverse organizations devoted to self-help, personal development, health, family services, religion, community service, the environment, leisure, and social life.

Summerside has been aggressive in courting new business opportunities and has created an Economic Development Office for the purpose of encouraging investment in the city.

The city's neighborhoods vary from working class (especially in the outlying regions) to upscale and affluent (near the downtown area and parts of the suburban areas). A number of stately Victorian homes near downtown have been converted into bed-and-breakfast businesses.
