A little more about Rural Burlington
Looking to leave the city behind and escape into the beauty of lush farmlands and the escarpment? Rural Burlington is calling you.
This area is tastefully removed from the urban noises and stresses. But the city is still a short drive away for when you’re ready to return.
Rural Burlington gives you a charmingly slower speed of life.
The area’s loyal residents come here for the beauty, the privacy and the tranquility. The homes sit on large and private properties, with beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding area. You will find a mix of older mid-size homes, as well as larger and more extravagant custom builds.
Rural Burlington gives you a charmingly slower speed of life. Speak with anyone living here and they will tell you, the benefits to living in this remote natural setting far outweigh any of the extra tasks that come with having more land or a septic system and well. There are two small towns in the area. Lowville is a small village with a population of about 300 people and a super-quaint bistro sitting in the center of town near Lowville Park. While Kilbride lies just south of Derry Road and gives you the natural beauty of rural living, just a short drive away from the more heavily populated parts of Burlington or Milton.
