Burlington, Ontario

Your Burlington real estate agent, and your neighbour.

I've called Burlington home for more than ten years. I raise my family here, coach hockey here, and help buyers and sellers across every corner of the city. This is my market because it's my home.

Why Burlington

One of Canada's most livable cities, for good reason.

Burlington sits between the lake and the escarpment, with a waterfront downtown, top rated schools, and quick access to the QEW, 407, and three GO stations. It consistently ranks among the most livable cities in Canada, and after more than a decade living here, I can tell you the rankings get it right.

The city offers real range. Lakefront estates in the south, established family neighbourhoods in the centre, newer communities in the north, and rural properties up the escarpment. Whatever stage of life you're buying or selling in, there's a Burlington neighbourhood built for it. Knowing which one is the job.

"Burlington isn't a territory on a map for me. It's where my kids go to school, where I coach, and where my clients become neighbours."

Where I know every street

Neighbourhoods I know at a resident level

I work across all of Burlington, and these are the communities where my knowledge runs deepest, because I live here.

Headon Forest
My home neighbourhood
This is where I live, so I know it the way only a resident can. Built through the late 1980s and 1990s, Headon Forest offers traditional brick two storey homes and spacious bungalows on quiet, tree lined streets between Dundas and Upper Middle. It's the classic Burlington family neighbourhood, and a natural step up for families who need more space. Schools include C.H. Norton, Florence Meares, and M.M. Robinson, with St. Timothy and Notre Dame on the Catholic side.
Alton Village
Newer homes, young families
Burlington's newest major community sits at the city's northern edge with escarpment views and the fastest 407 access in the city. Alton is anchored by one of the strongest school and recreation combos in the region: Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary, the Haber Recreation Centre with its eight gyms, and the Alton library, all on one connected site. If you have kids in sports, you'll get to know Haber fast. I certainly have.
Millcroft
Prestige and change
Millcroft is Burlington's signature golf course community, known for executive homes, antique street lamps, and manicured streets. It's also a neighbourhood in transition. The course now operates as nine holes while the approved first phase of the Millcroft Greens development proceeds, with a second phase still under review. If you're buying or selling here, especially near the course lands, the details matter more than ever. I follow this file closely and can walk you through exactly what it means for your property.
Palmer
Space and value
Palmer might be Burlington's most underrated neighbourhood. Built mainly in the 1960s through 1980s, it offers sidesplits, backsplits, and bungalows on generous lots with mature trees, the kind of space newer subdivisions gave up. It's central, minutes from the QEW, close to Mainway's rinks and fields, and a smart entry point into a detached Burlington home.
The full map

Every Burlington neighbourhood, at a glance

Wherever you're looking, I can help. Here's how the city breaks down.

South and Lakefront
Shoreacres and Roseland are Burlington's most prestigious addresses, with lakefront estates, heritage tree canopy, and coveted school catchments like Nelson and John T. Tuck. Elizabeth Gardens offers a more attainable entry to south Burlington along the Oakville border, while Longmoor, Pinedale, and Dynes deliver established, convenient family living near Appleby GO.
Central and Downtown
Downtown Burlington pairs a true waterfront lifestyle with restaurants, the Performing Arts Centre, and Spencer Smith Park, with condo living in demand and growing. The surrounding central neighbourhoods offer some of the city's best walkability and GO train convenience.
Northwest
Tyandaga offers custom executive homes on large treed lots against the escarpment, with its own municipal golf course and a nature first feel. Brant Hills and Mountainside are solid mid market family pockets, and Aldershot in the far west is a commuter favourite built around its GO station, with a mix of established bungalows and new infill.
Northeast and Rural
The Orchard offers newer family homes and parks just east of Alton, while Tansley provides one of north Burlington's most attainable entry points with its townhome selection. North of Dundas, Rural Burlington climbs the escarpment with estates, acreage, and country properties minutes from the city.
Common questions

Burlington real estate questions, answered straight

Who is the best real estate agent in Burlington?
The best agent for you is one who knows Burlington at street level, answers their own phone, and puts your outcome first. I'm Bernard Arzadon, a Burlington resident of more than ten years and a full time REALTOR serving the entire city. I'd welcome the chance to earn that title in your eyes. Call me at 289-778-3078 and judge for yourself.
Which Burlington neighbourhood is best for families?
Burlington is full of strong family options. Headon Forest, Alton Village, The Orchard, and Palmer are consistent favourites for schools, parks, and community feel. The right one depends on your budget, commute, and whether you want a newer home or more lot space. That's exactly the conversation I have with every family I work with.
What's happening with the Millcroft golf course development?
The Millcroft Golf Club now operates nine holes while the first approved phase of the Millcroft Greens development proceeds on former course lands. A second phase covering the remaining lands is still under government review and is not approved. If you own or are considering a home in Millcroft, especially near the course, it's worth a conversation about what the changes mean for your specific property.
Is Burlington a good place to invest in real estate?
Burlington's fundamentals are strong: lakefront geography that limits sprawl, top ranked livability, excellent schools, and GO transit into Toronto. As an active investor myself, I can help you look at Burlington opportunities with an owner's eye, not just a salesperson's pitch.
Do you only work in Burlington?
Burlington is home and my primary focus, but I actively serve buyers, sellers, and investors across Hamilton and Niagara as well. I studied in Hamilton, my wife's family is from Niagara, and my business covers all three markets.
