In The Orchard, there is a variety of home ownership alternatives and price ranges. Development began in the late 1990’s. Two storey detached homes of all proportions occupy properties of varying size. Some may have big yards or back onto a ravine, but most lots are quite compact. More budget friendly semi-detached, link, townhouse or condominium apartments make home ownership possible for many, in this desirable neighbourhood.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the close proximity to walking trails, green spaces and the Orchard Community Park’s grass sports fields, basketball court, playground and splash pad. With Bronte Creek Provincial Park next door, families can participate in camping, swimming, hiking, wildlife spotting and biking during the warmer months; and in the winter tobogganing or cross-country skiing. The farm animals at the Children’s Farm and Nature Centre or the Spruce Lane Farmhouse offer learning experiences for kids of every age.
It’s a quick drive to big box stores or smaller retail plazas, eateries, and professional services found along Appleby Line or Dundas Street. Family style restaurants, pubs and fast food franchises are abundant.
Community spirit best describes the rhythm of The Orchard. Neighbours interact and socialize with one another and the sound of laughter can be heard from street play. This Burlington neighbourhood has its own Facebook Group to share information, buy and sell items, and organize community events. Friendly and kid-centric – welcome to The Orchard.
