Burlington, Ontario is both a member of the Greater Toronto Area and a city and community all of its own. With a population of more than 160,000 residents in any other part of the country it would be seen as a major city centre. Within the Windsor-Quebec City corridor it is one of a dozen cities of its size or larger. That is more of an advantage than disadvantage to those that call Burlington home, giving residents a number of options in terms of jobs, entertainment and real estate. Here, we will explore all of the property options within the city and why more and more people are choosing to invest in Cabbagetown real estate.

Out of all of the cities one can choose from within the GTA, Burlington has ranked as the number one place to live by Money Sense Magazine and received the number eight position for the whole country. It was given this honour due to factors like its low unemployment rate, low crime rate and high average household income. While others may be scraping to come up with the money for those downtown Toronto homes for sale, those in Burlington know that their city is worth some extra time on their morning commute.

The average housing price in Burlington is around $340,000, while the average in downtown Toronto sits closer to $400,000. And with that piece of downtown real estate you won't be getting the exposure to great scenery and nature like you would in Burlington. Residents of this city enjoy taking walks along waterfront trails overlooking Lake Ontario and trips to one of North America's largest botanical gardens, Royal Botanical Gardens. Those living in London Ontario real estate don't get the same waterfront properties along the Thames River. Burlington is the perfect combination between city life and nature's beauty.

Burlington condo living has also become very popular in recent years. You don't need to go to areas like Liberty Village condos to take advantage of the luxury and amenities that condo living provides right in your own building or condo community. Buildings like the Burlington Ironstone Condominiums combine chic design with modern energy efficient equipment to produce the next generation of condo buildings. With a grand lobby comparable to any five-star hotel, you'll feel comfortable and right at home from the moment you walk into the building. There is really nothing better than living the ultimate condo life a little away from it all.

Burlington really is the best of both worlds between the excitement and convenience you get with New Condos Toronto and the escape of a home outside of a major city centre. There are homes with space and homes with a view available for affordable prices. If you're looking to live a great life in a suburb-like community, Burlington might be just the place for you to make that home purchase. It is home to some of Canada's richest people and hundreds of families looking for an affordable home within the heart of the GTA.
