“On the move” best describes the West neighbourhood. Organized sports, recreation, and shopping: active families always have somewhere to go and something to do. Admire the tree-lined streets and carefully landscaped yards of mature neighbourhoods. Newer subdivisions are within reach for first time home owners.
Waterdown West is a family oriented neighbourhood with loads of activities. Excellent schools, the YMCA, Library, and parks, are all available for the enjoyment of its residents.
Travelling by car typically requires 40 to 60 minutes but expect this time to increase during rush hour as the QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Waterdown and 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 12 to 22 minutes which can fluctuate a little during rush hour. The Hwy 6 to QEW/403 corridor is the main travel route between Waterdown and Hamilton.
Travelling from Aldershot GO to Hamilton GO station requires about 17 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.
Waterdown West is a community of newer and established subdivisions. Homes of 30 or more years in mature districts are commonly original or revitalized bungalows. Two storey detached, semi’s, and traditional townhouses were built between 15 and 30 years ago with many undergoing updating. Three storey townhouse complexes favoured by first time home buyers and investors, are springing up along Dundas Street. The former Waterdown High School has been converted into stylish urban condos.
The Flamborough Family YMCA offers everything from aquatics, before and after school programs, fitness centre and sporting programs for all ages. The Waterdown Branch of the Hamilton Public Library, featuring a children’s area with kid friendly technology and activities, is also home to a Senior’s Recreation Centre, Heritage Archives, and Flamborough Community and Municipal Services.
Every possible retail shopping need and professional service is found in plazas or free standing locations along Hamilton and Dundas Streets, and in the Clappison’s Power or Flamborough South Shopping Centres.
This is a neighbourhood where school aged children enjoy quiet and safe residential streets just right for a game of hockey or bike riding. Families converge for summer BBQ’s and celebrations. In the winter, toboggan in Memorial Park or stroll through nearby Conservation areas keeping an eye out for Ontario’s winter wildlife. Family, friends, activities and conveniences. That’s Waterdown West.
Guests can enjoy the seasonal patios of The Mill Street & 5 American House or The Royal Coachman Pub – both establishments dating back to Victorian times.
