Your Guide to Shoreacres

Burlington is one of the best places to live in Canada, and part of the reason for that is its neighbourhoods. Without a doubt, Shoreacres is one of the most sought after.

The community has a very long history, but it was a gorgeous estate erected in 1930 that set the stage for what it would become. Today, this Southeast Burlington area is one of the city’s most prestigious!

If you’re thinking of making Shoreacres home, here’s what you should know…

Shoreacres at a Glance

Those looking for a luxurious home in a quiet, picturesque neighbourhood will fall in love with Shoreacres. Lake Ontario scenery and gorgeous properties help set this exclusive community apart.

Hoping to give your kids the best possible education? There are some fantastic options in the area, including John T. Tuck, which receives an impressive 8.8 rating from the Fraser Institute (a Canadian fixture when it comes to school assessments).

From lush greenery to lakefront homes to incredible amenities, Shoreacres is the perfect place for families who appreciate the finer things.

Local Highlights

Without a doubt, one of Shoreacres’ biggest attractions is Paletta Estate. This historic mansion, which sits on Lakeshore Road, features a beautiful 11,000-square-foot interior along with landscaped grounds and formal gardens. Legend also has it that the place is haunted—so those who appreciate a good ghost story will want to keep an eye out!

While this exclusive neighbourhood is primarily residential, it’s also close to downtown Burlington. With its charming shops, eclectic eateries, award-winning art gallery, and more, the city’s core is well worth visiting! If the mall is more your style, Burloak Riocan Centre—which offers 721,000 square feet of retail—is also nearby.

Last but not least, getting around Shoreacres is a breeze. Whether you’re headed downtown or commuting elsewhere in the GTA, having the Appleby GO Station nearby is a blessing.

Getting Active

If you like your exercise outdoors, you’re in luck. There’s no shortage of places to enjoy some local recreation in Shoreacres. At Centre Park, you can stroll in the garden, hit up the local tennis or lawn bowling club, or (if you round up some friends) enjoy the baseball facilities.

Nelson Park is another favourite among Shoreaces residents. From its swimming pool and playground to its skatepark and multipurpose field, there’s something here for every member of an active family.
