About Burlington
Just a 45 minute drive from the City of Toronto and an even shorter distance to the surrounding cities in the GTA, Burlington is a favourite place to settle for people who want a slower pace of life while still being close enough to the hustle and bustle, like commuters, families, and retirees.
With a diverse economy, Burlington also attracts young professionals who are looking for career opportunities as well as more affordable real estate options than Toronto. Burlington is known for its diversity of residents, its impeccable school system, and variety of amenities catering to active and outdoor lifestyles. The city plays host to several annual festivals and events that bring together people from across the city, fostering community ties.
There are over 1,400 acres of green space in Burlington, plenty of golf courses, and over 100 parks. The city is also home to the beautiful Royal Botanical Gardens. The Bruce Trail—Canada’s longest and oldest marked hiking path—winds through Burlington, connecting its patrons to the natural landscapes in the area.
Burlington’s downtown is a quaint, welcoming retail district. It features a beautiful boardwalk, waterfront trail, and everything from antique stores and theatres to boutique art galleries, and a diverse collection of restaurants.
Burlington is well served by municipal transit, has three GO Transit stations, and connects easily to highways 403 and 407.
