An established neighbourhood highlighting comfortable, affordable homes on generously proportioned lots. The central location, value, and a host of activities for the kids, makes Palmer the community of choice for many families.
Young and mature households buying into the neighbourhood live alongside its original residents.
The 30 year old neighbourhood has a good mix of residential choices. Developed in the 1990’s, ample lots showcase two storey dwellings, traditional or raised bungalows and an incredibly numerous selection of side and back splits. The community is rounded out with semi-detached and two or three storey townhouses. Condominium apartments tend to be low to mid rise buildings. Given the neighbourhood’s age, many homes have undergone renovation and updating to current standards and aesthetics; but, for those willing to put in the work, original or slightly outdated properties present a good value for many potential buyers.
Indoor and outdoor family activities abound in Palmer. Sport and fitness facilities, clubs of all kinds, dance lessons for any age, tennis courts, and park playgrounds keep residents entertained, busy, and fit throughout the year.
Small community plazas, strip malls and free standing establishments take care of the everyday essentials: grocery, banking, retail, professional services and eateries. It’s a short drive to the Burlington Centre Mall and Fairview Street’s seemingly unending shopping and dining options.
Palmer has an enviable geographic location within the city of Burlington with expedient access to everything a modern family needs and wants in daily life. A good school district, family homes on roomy lots with mature trees and streetscapes is only part of the charm of Palmer. The most important attraction of the neighbourhood is space. Space to live. Space to play. Space to grow and thrive.
Palmer is absolutely packed with sporting, artistic, and recreational clubs and facilities for kids and adults.
