Alton Village is perfect for families who want a neighbourhood that still smells new. “The Village” (it’s not called that, but it sounds cool and maybe we can start something here) is definitely the new-build capital of Burlington. Many houses in this neighbourhood are only a few years old, and a whole section is still under construction. Consequently, this area is filled with original homeowners.
