What Makes Burlington
So Special?
Lake Ontario Waterfront
Spencer Smith Park, the waterfront trail, and Burlington Beach — a stunning lakeside lifestyle that few Ontario cities can match, right in the heart of downtown.
Schools
Burlington’s public and Catholic boards run schools across the city, from Nelson High School and M.M. Robinson to Assumption and Corpus Christi. See our guide to Burlington schools. Families weighing private options will find Fern Hill, Halton Waldorf and Blyth Academy here too.
Walkable Downtown
Boutique shops, chef-driven restaurants, the Art Gallery of Burlington, and a vibrant farmers' market — downtown Burlington is a destination in its own right.
Distinct Neighbourhoods
From Roseland's estate homes to Alton Village's family-friendly streets and Tyandaga's escarpment setting — every Burlington neighbourhood has its own character and price point.
Commuter-Friendly
Burlington GO station, QEW access, and proximity to the 403 and 407 make commuting to Toronto, Hamilton, or Mississauga easy — with a 45-minute GO ride to Union Station.
Strong Resale Value
