Local Amenities

Burlington is a city of approximately 185,000 residents and is an affluent suburb just west of Toronto that also sits across the Bay from the Greater Hamilton region.

Burlington is geographically situated between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario. It's shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural amenities are as good as you would find in most cities.

Burlington sits at a crucial juncture between major highways and transportation hubs. Lester B. Pearson (Toronto) airport is virtually a 30-45 min. drive away. Less so to Hamilton's airport. Burlington is home to three, major GO Stations and operates it's own public transit system. This makes access to downtown Toronto easy and quick.

In addition, The QEW Niagara, Hwy. 403, Hwy. 407 toll route, and the QEW Toronto all intersect in Burlington allowing for access by vehicle to go in virtually any direction you choose.
