There is a view of the Escarpment from almost anywhere in the community. Alton Village is a self-contained neighbourhood with everything required for modern living and recreation at your doorstep.
Populated predominantly by families wanting newer homes, but less labour intensive outdoor space, with excellent schools and parks.
Travelling by car typically requires 40 to 55 minutes but expect this time to increase during rush hour as the QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Burlington and Toronto. The 407 ETR is easily accessible from Alton.
Travelling from Appleby GO to Union station by transit includes an express train during rush hour skipping all stations past Clarkson saving about 10 minutes overall. The all-stops train visits key destinations such as Exhibition with a commuting time of around 53 minutes.
Travelling by car to the downtown commercial district typically requires 16 to 26 minutes which can fluctuate a little during rush hour. The QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Burlington and Hamilton.
Travelling from Appleby GO to Hamilton GO station requires about 30 minutes. Keep in mind that not all trains travel to Hamilton during off-peak hours and you may need to connect with a GO bus.
One of the newer neighbourhoods of Burlington, Alton Village was carefully planned and developed with an eye to functional urban design. Two storey detached, semi-detached and townhouses with higher ceilings, open concept layouts and bedroom level laundry, are the mainstay. Low rise boutique condominium apartments and a few live/work townhomes appeal to young professionals and couples.
Walkable. Bikeable. Alton Village is ideal for active families. Norton Community Park, with skateboard park, basketball court, splash pad and leash free zone is opposite the Haber Recreation Centre with swimming pool, gyms and the Alton Branch of the Burlington Public Library. Palladium Park offers wide open spaces, a kids playground and soccer field, while Doug Wright Park is a great place to catch a baseball game. Bike through rural North Burlington, take the short drive to Glen Eden for skiing, or visit Crawford Lake for a stroll along the boardwalk.
Everyday retail and grocery shopping, professional services and conveniences can be found in the larger and smaller plazas within the community: the most popular being the Smart Centre at the corner of Dundas and Appleby Line.
Alton Village is a neighbourhood that takes the word “neighbour” to heart. Families congregate at weekend sporting events and friendly social gatherings. Residents spend time in nature or utilize the programs offered at recreational facilities and the community centre. Most prevalent, the beautiful streetscapes, showcasing the pride of ownership of those living in this captivating corner of North Burlington.
Have you ever been in a library with a fireplace? If the answer is “yes”, then you’ve visited the Alton Branch of the Burlington Public Library, part of the massive complex that includes Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary and the Haber Rec Centre.
