Brant Hills

This charming North West enclave in Burlington boasts a great sense of community, and is an ever-popular spot located between Guelph Line, Upper Middle Road, Brant Street and Dundas Street.

The name “Brant Hills” is a tribute to the neighbourhood’s history and its beautiful, natural topography. “Brant” honours the founder, First Nations Chief Joseph Brant, while “Hill” hails from the gorgeous location along the Niagara Escarpment.

In its early years, this entire area was once a dense, lush forest. Today, it remains one of the greenest and most picturesque parts of the city. Though located more toward the northwest part of Burlington, a high elevation allows for spectacular views, and on a clear day, you might even catch glimpses of the lake.

This is suburbia at its finest, and you’ll find double-income families with multiple children, with a healthy sprinkling of single folks in some of the condos and townhouses.

A diverse mix of housing options means people from all walks of life can choose to make their home in Brant Hills. Higher-end enclaves feature historic Colonial and Tudor Revival architecture, while a number of bungalows, split-levels, and townhouses make Brant Hills accessible to growing families and younger buyers.

Brant Hills remains one of the more attainable areas of Burlington. Outstanding real estate values at fair price points have attracted many families to the area. As an established neighbourhood, the range of homes creates visual interest and variety, with no cookie-cutter subdivisions in sight!

Just moments away from rural Burlington, this is paradise for the outdoorsy person (or family) who enjoys skiing, golfing, hiking and more. The location is very convenient, and you’re always close to shops and other amenities. There’s also easy access to the 407, the Go Station, and other major travel routes—one of the reasons Brant Hills remains so popular with the commuter crowd.

As a family-friendly neighbourhood, Brant Hills is known for its top-tier recreational facilities. If that’s not enough, it’s less than a 15-minute drive to downtown Burlington.

Nature-loving residents here enjoy nearby access points to the Bruce Trail, and golf enthusiasts spend many hours on the beautiful golf courses in the area, including Tyandaga Municipal Golf Course, located just on the other side of Brant Street. Travel a few minutes west, and you’ll reach Hidden Lake Golf Club, a stunning oasis in the midst of the escarpment.

At Brant Hills Community Centre, families can make use of a gymnasium for all kinds of activities. Get in a game of pickleball, badminton, table tennis or participate in yoga and other fitness classes. There’s a public library under the same roof, with various programs available.

The adjacent Brant Hills Park offers a giant sports field and a playground with a splash pad. The hill off the outdoor tennis courts is also one of six designated safe areas for tobogganing!

We weren’t kidding when we said Brant Hills is a haven for nature lovers. The area is also home to Sinclair Park and Cavendish Park, while Kerncliff Park and Mount Nemo Conservation Area are both just a short trip away. For the serious hiker willing to brave massive, limestone cliffs, breathtaking panoramic views await. Be sure to have your camera ready, although pictures alone can never do this stunning scenery justice.

Brant Hills isn’t just green, it’s also highly convenient, and you’re never far from anything you need. Burlington Power Centre is right on Brant Street, where you’ll find major retailers like Sobeys, Michaels, Marshalls, Indigo, plus an endless array of smaller shops, services, restaurants, and a movie theatre. Talk about one-stop convenience!
