Local Lifestyle

Bordering Oakville to the east, the tranquil city of Burlington lies along the Lake Ontario waterfront stretching from Highway 21 to Highway 6. This is a city that caters to lovers of the outdoors, as Burlington seamlessly melds natural beauty with urban and rural environments so you can have the best of both worlds.

Just north of the 725 km-long Niagara Escarpment, more than half the City of Burlington is under Ontario’s Greenbelt. Here, you can walk the nation’s oldest and longest marked footpath, the Bruce Trail.

Burlington is also home to a charming downtown with a serene waterfront that features countless amenities, entertainment, and activities for the whole family. The Royal Botanical Gardens, Art Gallery of Burlington, Joseph Brant Museum, and Burlington Performing Arts Centre are just some of the cultural attractions residents in the city can enjoy.

Whether you love invigorating outdoor activities, immersing yourself in the arts, or exploring the urban waterfront, Burlington is the place where you can do it all. Commuters will appreciate being close to Highway 401 and GO Transit.

Real Estate

Many housing options exist in Burlington, from suburban waterfront homes with direct access to the lake, to modern condos and townhomes. Most Burlington homes are in neighbourhoods that are walking distance to an abundance of amenities.
