Neighbourhood

The motto in our small town is, “Friendly by Nature” and it is apt. Great road biking options on our escarpment and also mountain biking trails a 15 min drive away. Cross country ski and snowshoe trails are available in the winter. Hiking trails are numerous and vary in intensity. There are also areas to kayak or canoe on either our lake about a 5 min drive away or small water areas that are a bit more secluded and calm, about a 10/15 min drive away. We are a 45 min drive away from downtown Toronto (with no traffic) and there is also the option of taking the train or bus into Toronto. Both train and bus have stops in our town. Niagara Falls is 25 minutes away by car. There is also Niagara on the Lake which is a great area to explore with even more wineries, the Shaw Theatre and an historic famous battleground. We have numerous “beach” areas within walking distance of our home with access to Lake Ontario. Not your typical beach with sand but small rocks and small access points. Great for a stroll by the water or a quick dip. Don't forget to check out the Painted Ladies when you come. It's a neighbourhood in Grimsby known for its beautifully, colourful painted homes. Situated down by our lake so you can take a stroll along our lakefront at the same time. A 5 min drive from our home. We also have numerous access points to The Bruce Trail which is a beautiful forested area with markings so you can stay on the trail. There is a gelato ice cream shop a 10 minute walk from our home (I'm all about ice cream!) and numerous home decor shops in our downtown.

Nearest airport

Toronto Pearson International (YYZ) airport is 45 min drive away from our home. John C Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) is a 45 min drive away with less traffic than Toronto’s airport. Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF) located in Buffalo, NY is an hour away.

Getting Around

We have Enterprise Car Rental right in our town. There's also Uber. We have the GO Train that stops in our town and travels from Niagara Falls, through our area and goes right into Toronto We also have the VIA Rail system that also makes a stop in our town. Both the GO and VIA stops are about a 7 minute walk from our home. It's a 5 min walk into our small downtown with great coffee shops, home decor stores, pharmacy and grocery store. There are also two banks, a post office and numerous restaurants serving Indian, Italian, Pub Style food and many have local bands playing on the weekends. Walk a bit further past the downtown to another higher quality grocery store, hardware store, pet shop and numerous fast food restaurants. Downtown has many good eat in restaurants and cafes and coffee shops. We have both road and mountain bikes available for use and many of the roads in our town and surrounding have bike lanes. For exploring other areas around us, there are numerous options including train, GO transit, bus, taxis and ubers.
