COMMUNITY

Burlington, Ontario has many neighbourhoods. They’re all unique and have different amenities to offer. If you love big homes with more manageable yards, the north/east part of Burlington is where you may consider moving to. If you’re an outdoorsy person and not so into having a brand new 3,000 square foot home, you may want to consider a home closer to the lake in south Burlington.

All Burlington Neighbourhoods are a great place to live. It all depends on your lifestyle and what you’re looking for. Below you will find a list of Burlington Neighbourhoods. Take a look. You just may find something that suits your lifestyle.
