Burlington

Sitting along the western shores of Lake Ontario, Burlington is a beautiful waterfront city sandwiched between Hamilton and Oakville. With Toronto just 57 kilometres to the east, Burlington is a comparatively relaxed environment offering a comfortable lifestyle and a great sense of community. Homebuyers searching for Burlington real estate will be pleasantly surprised by the wide variety homes that are available in this city.

Being a city between a lake and an escarpment, many properties in Burlington come with beautiful views as well as convenient access to numerous recreational activities. Burlington condos and townhomes are increasingly becoming a popular option for new home buyers, with luxury options available along the lakeshore. A wide selection of single family home options are available from century properties near downtown, to newer developments as the city has expanded.

The neighbourhoods of Brant and Maple include downtown shops, restaurants and attractions closer to the waterfront. Newer condo and townhome developments mix with historic residential neighbourhoods to create a walkable urban charm. Rich in culture, this part of the city contains dining choices from Persian to Mediterranean cuisine and hosts many of the city's festivals. The downtown core is the more vibrant part of the city with live events at The Burlington Performing Arts Centre as well as its Farmer's Market in Centro Garden.

Further east, the mature neighbourhood of Roseland opens to lower density, larger detached residential homes with some well appointed newer builds. The family oriented neighbourhoods north of the waterfront include Brant Hills and The Orchard. These neighbourhoods feature newer detached homes, townhouse and condo developments. Their proximity to the Niagara Escarpment, parks and golf courses are ideal for recreation and provide convenient access to major highways.
