Living in Burlington
Lake views, Escarpment trails and a downtown on the water
Burlington’s downtown runs down Brant Street to Spencer Smith Park on Lake Ontario, home to festivals throughout the summer. To the north, the Niagara Escarpment brings trails at Mount Nemo, and the Royal Botanical Gardens sit on the city’s western edge.
South Burlington offers established bungalows and two-storeys on mature streets, while north neighbourhoods such as Alton and Orchard feature newer family homes. Condos and townhomes around downtown and the GO stations suit downsizers and commuters.
