“Mountainside”, you ask? The neighbourhood is so named for its proximity to the Hamilton Escarpment. Mountainside is one of the most affordable communities in Burlington. Its location provides quick access to major shopping centres, big box stores, and east/west commuting routes.
Families, first time home buyers, downsizers and retirees enjoy comfortable detached homes at moderate prices in a mature neighbourhood.
Travelling by car typically requires 35 to 50 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 Mountainside.
Travelling from Burlington 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 59 minutes.
Travelling by car to the downtown commercial district typically requires 14 to 22 minutes which can fluctuate a little during rush hour. The QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Burlington and Hamilton.
Travelling from Burlington GO to Hamilton GO station requires about 24 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.
An established neighbourhood typically consists of smaller homes on larger lots and Mountainside is certainly no exception. Modestly sized bungalow and split level homes of 30 years and upward, occupy mature lots. The garages tend to be either single car attached or detached, or simply a carport. Established townhouse developments and newer, high and low rise condominium buildings round out the alternatives. Mountainside offers an opportunity to purchase detached homes for a price comparable to attached or condo properties in other neighbourhoods of Burlington. As is common elsewhere, many of the original homes are undergoing renovation and design upgrades more suited to contemporary preferences.
The Mountainside Recreation Centre, Pool and Park is the community venue for ice skating and hockey, swimming pools, water slides, splash pad, trails, playground, and almost anything you could want in sports and leisure activities.
Shopping options encompass the entire neighbourhood along the four major boundary streets. Plazas, small strip malls and freestanding locations for retail, dining and professional services are everywhere. The nearby Burlington Power Centre on Brant Street is frequented for its assortment of retail stores and the movie theatre. Costco, west of Brant Street off the North Service Road is an often visited destination.
Comfortable and liveable bungalow and split level homes are still the centre of family life just as they have been for decades. There are big backyards for play, outdoor summer activities, and relaxation under the shade of towering trees. In the winter there is plenty of space to build a snow fort on the front lawn as neighbours pass by pulling toboggans filled with bundled up children. Mountainside can fulfill dreams.
Mountainside is ideal for easy access to all major transportation routes and systems in the Golden Horseshoe, as well as, Burlington’s major commercial cross streets.
