If spending time on the links is your preference, or if you wish to live high in the sky in a comfortable condominium near the centre of it all, then the Governors neighbourhood may be the community for you.
Families, professionals, empty nesters, downsizers and retirees, live and play in this Dundas neighbourhood.
Travelling by car typically requires 50 to 65 minutes but expect this time to increase during rush hour as the QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route to downtown Toronto.
Travelling from Aldershot 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 65 minutes.
Travelling by car to the downtown commercial district typically requires 14 to 28 minutes which can fluctuate a little during rush hour.
Travelling on public transit from Governors to downtown would be by Hamilton Street Railway Bus.
Century old houses and small cottages in historic Dundas, properties backing onto a golf course and all other possibilities in between… there is a home sure to please. Many of the early buildings have been carefully renovated and restored, yet the character of the original property manages to remain. There are pockets of family homes where you will find mid to late century bungalows, detached two storey, abundant townhouse options and condominiums with great views. There is a group of magnificent properties backing onto the golf course.
For the outdoor enthusiast, conservation land, trails and parks are an integral part of the neighbourhood. The Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club is a fixture of the community. The club has a breathtaking course, and for those involved in the sport, several curling leagues take to the ice. Memorable dining experiences, weddings and private events are hosted with a backdrop view of beautiful surroundings.
Residents are able to walk to the boutiques, restaurants and retail establishments of Downtown Dundas. Take in the annual events and festivals or just meander along King St. while deciding on a favourite eatery for dinner. Governors’ residents head to the Metro supermarket or University Plaza for day to day shopping essentials.
Governors is a pretty special neighbourhood. Multi-generational living is made possible by the extensive variety of homes in the community catering to every stage of life and interest.
