Kids on bikes, ball games at the park, a library around the corner and neighbours who have been here for decades. Brant Hills is classic, friendly North Burlington, and it's one of the more accessible ways to get a freehold home with a yard in this part of the city.
Tucked into Burlington's northwest, Brant Hills mixes established detached homes with townhomes, semis and link homes, all within reach of good schools, big parks and the 407. Here's the local rundown.

Why People Love Living in Brant Hills
1. A community centre, library and park in one spot
The Brant Hills Community Centre on Brant Street has a double gym, meeting rooms and a branch of the Burlington Public Library. The park next door has two ball diamonds, three sports fields, a playground, tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court and lots of open space. Summer evenings here are busy in the best way.
2. Real value for a freehold home
Brant Hills has one of North Burlington's widest ranges of freehold options, including townhomes, semis and link homes as well as detached houses. That makes it a smart first step for buyers moving up from a condo, or for families who want a yard without stretching into the city's priciest pockets.
3. Schools close to home
Several elementary schools sit inside or right beside the neighbourhood, and M.M. Robinson High School is close by, so many kids walk to school.
4. Errands made easy
Beacon Hill Plaza and Burlingwood Centre on Guelph Line cover groceries, pharmacies, coffee and takeout. For a bit of history, Ireland House, a pioneer farmhouse museum on Guelph Line, is a nearby family outing.
Homes in Brant Hills: What Your Money Buys
- Detached two-storeys: Colonial and Tudor-style family homes with fenced yards. Many are ready for a refresh, which is where the value is.

Schools in Brant Hills
Schools serving the area include Brant Hills Public School (JK–8), Paul A. Fisher and Bruce T. Lindley public schools, St. Mark Catholic Elementary, and M.M. Robinson High School.
School boundaries change, and some schools cap enrolment. Always confirm the school for a specific address with the Halton District School Board or Halton Catholic District School Board before you firm up an offer — it's one of the first things I check for my buyers.
What to Know Before You Buy
- Older homes need a close inspection. Look at the windows, roof, electrical panel, insulation and basement moisture.
- Know which home type you're buying. Detached, link, semi and freehold townhome each trade at different prices.
- Location within the neighbourhood matters. Homes on Brant Street, Guelph Line or Upper Middle Road usually sell for less than those on interior crescents.
