Burloak (East) 

The border of Burlington and Oakville, Bronte Creek Provincial Park and the Burlington Convention Centre anchor this gateway to residential neighbourhoods like the Orchard with quiet streets, pocket parks and a commercial corridor at Appleby Line. Easy highway access and transit routes.  

North Burlington 

With 50% of Burlington being rural – mostly the north – it’s a paradise for cyclists, nature enthusiasts and hikers with access to Lowville Park and Mount Nemo, trailheads for the Bruce Trail and seasonal golf courses that welcome visitors. Easy vehicle access, challenging cycling routes, with no transit service.
