Burlington is a wonderful city to retire to.  It’s got amazing restaurants, a beautiful lake view, fantastic parks, and it’s close to several great golf courses.  As a lot of people never seem to fully retire, Burlington is also close to Toronto, making it an easy drive if you have to do the odd consulting gig, or morning office work.  However, not every neighbourhood in Burlington was created equal, which is why we’ve written a blog for the best areas in Burlington for Seniors.

Millcroft

Millcroft is a golf course community started in the 1980’s. If you are a golfer, the Millcroft Golf Course runs right through this mature neighbourhood. It’s the perfect place to retire to if you are a snowbird. The streets are well landscaped, and home prices are well above average. Most of the lots are large and rather spacious, so if you are looking for a smaller home, Millcroft might not be ideal for you.
