Millcroft is often the "dream goal" for families moving within Burlington. It was master-planned around the award-winning Millcroft Golf Club, and that influence is felt everywhere. The streets are wider, the landscaping is immaculate, and there is a sense of prestige here that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
Demographics
This is predominantly a family neighbourhood, but specifically for families with older children or established careers. The price point attracts executives, doctors, and business owners. It’s a very active community—you’ll see people jogging, walking dogs, and cycling at all hours.
Schools
Charles R. Beaudoin Public School is a major draw for this area; it’s highly rated and has a very involved parent community. Florence Meares is another excellent option within the boundaries. High schoolers typically attend Dr. Frank J. Hayden, which is nearby in Alton Village.
Parks & Recreation
Obviously, the Millcroft Golf Club is the centerpiece. Even if you don't golf, the green space it provides creates a beautiful visual buffer between streets. Millcroft Park is another massive green space with tennis courts, sports fields, and a splash pad that serves as a gathering spot for the community.
Shopping & Dining
You don't have to go far for anything. The neighbourhood is bordered by Appleby Line and Upper Middle, both of which are lined with plazas containing grocery stores (Metro, Fortinos), banks, and restaurants. It is suburban convenience at its finest.
Transit Access
Millcroft is centrally located in north Burlington. You have easy access to the 407 via Appleby Line, which is a lifesaver for commuters heading to Markham or York Region. The QEW is a straight shot down Appleby, and the Appleby GO station is your train connection.
Types of Homes Available
- Executive Detached: Large, 2-storey brick homes with double or triple car garages. These make up the bulk of the neighbourhood.
- Bungalofts: A very popular style in Millcroft, offering main-floor master suites with loft areas for guests or grandkids.
- Townhomes: There are select pockets of upscale townhomes that offer the Millcroft lifestyle at a slightly more accessible price point.
