The secret has been out for many years now – Burlington, ON has been named Canada’s “Best City to Live” several times. It follows that it’s a prime destination for home buyers.
Whether someone is looking for the perfect place to settle with their family or for a great space to use as an investment property, they can’t go wrong with buying a home in Burlington.

With all styles of units from high rise condos to single family homes, there truly is something for everyone. One of the major motivators for those looking to leave Toronto in favour of a quieter, though still very convenient, place to live is its proximity to public transit. Burlington is home to 3 major Go stations, making it the perfect city for commuters.

What are GO stations?

Every major metropolitan area has its own style of transit system, and the GTA uses GO transit. This bus and train system covers nearly all of the GTA and offers residents a cheap and easy way to commute both within and to and from the city. The GO system connects all of the GTA with Toronto, allowing residents to skip the bumper-to-bumper traffic during rush hour and not have to worry about finding parking once they arrive. The GO system makes it easy for people to choose to live outside of the city, while still being able to commute in for work. GO trains move over 200,000 people daily, making them an essential part of life for many residents.

In Burlington, lands in the vicinity of GO stations are deemed transit hubs which allow for increased development of residential units. Amazing condo developments have been built and under construction. Moving to Burlington can be a great move whether you work from home, locally, or across Greater Toronto.
