Top 5 things we love about Mountainside

1

Affordable

Mountainside is the most affordable neighbourhood in Burlington. If you want a detached home for the price of a semi or townhome, this is where you are likely to find it.
2

Splash Pad & Pool

The Mountainside pool and splash pad are beloved by everyone in Burlington. The waterslides make it feel more like a water park than a regular pool and splash pad.
3

The Mount Royal Diner

There is something about this greasy spoon. It’s always packed at breakfast.
4

SAIL is a uniquely Canadian store

Filled with outdoorsy products and apparel. If you’re into hunting, fishing, camping or kayaking this place will be your “candy” store.
5

Costco

Let’s face it. You need this place. With every fibre of my being I hate going to Costco, but I do it every week.
