About Burlington
Burlington consistently tops national lists as one of the best places to live. It is home to excellent private and public schools and provides homeowners with diverse lifestyle opportunities. The city has some of the most sought-after real estate in Southern Ontario which is why it’s home to many wealthy and established families who often commute to nearby GTA cities for work.
Burlington is home to many community festivals, abundant parkland and conservation areas, the Royal Botanical Gardens, several premier golf courses, excellent trail systems in the Bruce Trail, a charming downtown and retail district, stretches of waterfront, plenty of employment opportunities, and safe neighbourhoods for raising families. Its short 45-minute drive to downtown Toronto makes it a favourite for those looking for a quieter place to enjoy all the GTHA has to offer.
Close to major roadways including highways 403, 407, and the QEW, home to an excellent transit system, and featuring GO Transit stations, Burlington’s transportation makes it easy to get around the city, and out of town.
