Hamilton
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.
Who Lives Here?
A little bit of everyone! Hamilton is defined by its mountain – in the sense that you can either be “on the mountain” or “in the city.” The mountain is more suburban, while the city has that urban flavour of high-rises and hip developments.
In general, many buyers coming from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have flocked to Hamilton in recent years because of the affordability and the ability to have your dollar stretch further here.
The Good & The Not So Good
What We Love
The energy! This is a city that is truly coming into its own, and showcasing a bit of what makes it special. 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 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?
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.
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.
Hamilton West- Bordered by Dundas, 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.
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.
Durand- One of Hamilton’s most iconic neighbourhoods, this is the heart of the action in Hamilton. Home to exciting restaurants, boutiques, and developments, young couples and singles come to this area the most.

Looking for the best of Hamilton? We’re big fans of the accessibility and nature you can find in this neck of the woods.
Start your journey by heading to Tiffany Falls or the Red Hill Valley Recreational Trail. Did you know that Hamilton is Canada’s capital for waterfalls? If not, you’re definitely in for a nice surprise.
Before you head out, though, we’d recommend grabbing something warm at Durand Coffee, and then wrapping up the day at Mesa Mexican Restaurant. From start to finish, there’s a great day in Hamilton just for you!
