Should you consider buying a home in Shoreacres?
This neighbourhood is very walkable. Seriously, people drive to Shoreacres just to go for walks. Specifically, they go to Paletta Mansion and waterfront park and stroll the grounds whilst snapping selfies (feel free to photobomb them with disapproving faces). You’ll also find people at this beautiful site who have hired photographers to capture idyllic family moments between their toddlers’ screams for snacks.
It’s easy to see why Shoreacres is one of Burlington’s most expensive neighbourhoods.
Outside the park you will find Shoreacres is characterized by massive private lots, and quiet mature tree-lined streets. Many of the homes are sprawling ranch style bungalows built in the 1950’s and 1960’s. But, you will also see plenty of 2-storey custom build homes to accommodate larger families. With excellent schools in the area too, buyers scour Shoreacres to find “tear down” options upon which they can build their dream home. Given its appealing housing options, lot sizes, natural beauty and location bordering Lake Ontario, it’s easy to see why Shoreacres is also one of Burlington’s most expensive neighbourhoods.
