Hamilton has been attracting more and more people from the Greater Toronto Area as they slowly discover the better housing prices and unexpected allure the small city offers. Although it is a relatively easy drive to Toronto, Hamilton is still a city in its own right. Here are three of the best Hamilton neighbourhoods to buy a home in 2023.
1. Ancaster
The first thing that comes to mind when one enters the picturesque town of Ancaster is its distinctly European quaintness. People are drawn to the village of Ancaster because while it is experiencing growth, it maintains its authentic historical feel, and rightfully so. As one of Ontario’s oldest communities, it provides its fair share of historic homes near the village. However, you’ll also have ample opportunity to find beautifully designed new builds on lovely lots ideal for growing families.
Many people commute as far as Toronto, but a large population works locally in Hamilton, Burlington, and further west in Mississauga. It offers lovely walking trails, a very respectable selection of restaurants, and plenty of pubs and shops. The locals love to support the area’s small businesses, which continue to flourish. This adds to the charm of the neighbourhood as you have a more eclectic selection of boutique businesses to visit. Let’s not forget easy access to GO Transit, making your commute even easier. You are always five minutes from what you need, whether it is shopping, dining, or parkland.

2. Stoney Creek
Stoney Creek is a popular spot in East Hamilton. Its proximity to major highways makes the commute to Burlington, Mississauga, or even Toronto very manageable. A major attraction here is the many waterfront condo developments and single-family homes popping up. Development has greatly expanded Stoney Creek’s real estate offering, attracting more and more people from the big city. This makes it one of the best family neighbourhoods in Hamilton.
Stoney Creek is laid back enough to support that idyllic beach town lifestyle but also well-connected enough to keep your inner-city guy or gal happy. Locals love its safe streets and well-established business community. It is steeped in the benefits of nature’s bounty where the rich soil gives way to a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables from spring to fall. It is family-friendly and offers a selection of homes suitable to the tastes and budgets of first-time buyers, down-sizers and up-sizers alike.
3. Dundas
Many find Dundas the go-to town where the unique vibe is more commonly found in the hippest areas of downtown Toronto. Knowns as “the Valley Town” thanks to its perfect position at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment, Downtown Dundas maintains its village charm despite undergoing many transformations and gentrifications. Locals love the fact it is constantly changing with the cliché that it somehow remains the same.
However, Dundas’ burgeoning real estate market has much to do with its diverse selection of homes. From classic heritage homes to a growing number of new build communities, it is the ideal town for people of all ages. As the neighbourhoods grow, so too does the number of people drawn to the town’s unique location in the heart of one of Canada’s most memorable natural features. The combination of 19th-century architecture, massive shady trees, and a commitment to development for the future creates the perfect trifecta for a real estate boom.
