Greater Hamilton (GHA)

Toronto’s Brooklyn – Hamilton is the cool place to be!

Neighborhood in A Nutshell

The former industrial heart of the region, Hamilton has now completely transformed into a cultured haven that is still rich in natural beauty. Hamilton is comprised of a several large communities, you’ll find links below to check them all out!

Who Lives Here?

Hamilton is home to a great variety of people. From a bustling art/foodie inspired downtown core, to sprawling country acreage, and everything in between, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. 

Thankfully, Hamilton also offers more home for your money than you’ll find closer to Toronto. It offers the amenities you want in a big city, without the horrendous traffic. In recent years we’ve seen an influx of Torontonians come to Hamilton and put down roots. We hope you’ll do the same. 

The Good & The Not So Good

What We Love

The energy! Hamilton is a city of cities that is truly coming into its own. Also known as the Ambitious City, it offers something for everyone. If you want in on the ground floor, now’s your chance to make it home.

What We Don't

Hamilton has come a long way, but, like many cities, it can still be a bit rough around the edges – if you’re not a fan of the grittier downtown lifestyle, the heart of Hamilton, or its steel plants, may not be ideal.

What About The Neighbourhoods?

Hamilton has a selection of regions and neighbourhoods, as follows:

Ancaster

While technically part of Hamilton, Ancaster has its own flair of white collar professionals and locals who love living here because of the strong community spirit and the European vibes.

Dundas

Otherwise known as the “Valley Town,” Dundas is a quaint bedroom community to the west of Hamilton. People who both enjoy the energy of the city, but want space of their own, call this place home.

Stoney Creek

Located along Eastern side of Hamilton is Stoney Creek. This region blends small town with big city offering a variety of housing and beautiful landscapes. Easy highway access makes this area popular for commuters.

Hamilton East

This is a great area for both first-time buyers and families, as the eastern part of Hamilton is filled with some of the area’s most exciting neighbourhoods like Rosedale and McQuesten.

Hamilton Mountain

Up on the mountain is largely suburban and a key feature of this area is the iconic Limeridge Mall. It features larger homes, perfect for established families, and loads of local amenities.

Downtown Hamilton

In years past, contrary to many cities, downtown Hamilton was one of the least desirable places to live in the city.  With a big emphasis placed on the downtown revival, many buyers are attracted to the art / foodie culture and the charming architecture.

Hamilton North

North Hamilton is home to a unique blend of housing types, beautiful parks, restaurants and transit. Without question, this area of the city has seen one of the biggest changes in recent years.

Hamilton West

Bordered by Dundas and Central Hamilton, the western edge of Hamilton has a decidedly greener feel. Maybe it’s the Royal Botanical Gardens right in your backyard, but Hamilton West is a great place for professionals and students.

Waterdown

While technically part of Hamilton, Waterdown is happier to associate themselves with Burlington. Once a mere stoplight, Waterdown has transformed into an upscale community with easy access to Highways, shopping, condos and countryside.

Flamborough

Flamborough has long been known for its equestrian centres and estate homes. Nestled between Waterdown, Dundas and the 401, this area is in high demand. Prices are high, properties are large, and the scenery is beautiful.

Glanbrook

Glanbrook is similar to Flamborough, but slightly more affordable. Located along the south side of Hamilton, this area offers a great blend of country feel with city amenities nearby. It also features one of the busiest airports in southern Ontario – John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport.
