• Norton Community Park - with fields, courts, playground, splash pad, leash-free dog park & Burlington's most advanced skate park!
• Close to major plazas with a sprinkling of small businesses mixed in
Cons:
• Furthest community from Downtown Burlington & around 8km to the shores of Lake Ontario
• Young landscaping & smaller lots mean less privacy than other north-end neighbourhoods
• Be prepared for congestion trying to get in & out of the neighbourhood during peak hours
• Can feel cookie-cutter to people who prefer the more diverse feel of older neighbourhoods (some people call it the 'Milton-of-Burlington')
• Close to rural Burlington which has caused some displaced small animals to be a nuisance (being proactive & mindful of any access points in your home is often enough to deter most potential issues)
•
New development pockets can cause dust, noise & other construction site nuisances
• If your ideal home is within walking distance of school, you'll want to narrow your focus accordingly.
• A fair
distance from the highway access to QEW, 403 & 401

Nestled into the hillside of Burlington’s north west end you’ll find the winding streets of Tyandaga.
With stunning trees & statement homes on generous lots, this community (as we know it today) began to take shape in the 80’s & into the 90’s.
Historically however, it is a tribute to Burlington’s founding father, Mohawk war chief & political powerhouse Thayendanegea aka Joseph Brant (1743 – 1807).
