You CAN live in one of the best cities in Canada

If you’re thinking about buying a home in the Greater Toronto Area, there’s a reason why Burlington, Ontario, is consistently rated as one of the best places to live, in all of Canada! In this article, we’ll learn more about why the city is so well-ranked across numerous surveys.

But first, let’s talk about commuting and convenience.

Burlington is part of the Greater Toronto Area, even though geographically it’s located halfway between the City of Toronto and Niagara Falls along Lake Ontario. Being part of Halton region means its region neighbours are OakvilleMilton, and Halton Hills.

Although Burlington is closer to Hamilton than it is Toronto, the GO Train service runs through the city and can get you to downtown Toronto in under an hour. In fact, it only takes 51 minutes on average to travel from Burlington GO Station to Union Station in the mornings! This makes commuting incredibly quick and convenient for those living in Burlington but working in downtown Toronto.

Burlington: Easy Commutes, Rich Culture

Why are so many residents thrilled about living in Burlington?

In 2023, the City of Burlington sent out a Community Survey to gauge resident satisfaction with city services, and the results were all positive. Over 92% of survey respondents replied that they were satisfied with services provided by the City of Burlington. Many residents also reported having a high quality of life and positive experiences with the municipality.

But the accolades don’t end there.

In a recent study by the Globe & Mail, Burlington was ranked as the #1 Top Livable City in all of Ontario, and 5th overall in Canada. The study showed that Burlington had high ratings for raising kids, welcoming young professionals and newcomers, midlife transitions, and retirement. It was the only city to even make the top 20 list for the province of Ontario!

Burlington: Safe, Affordable, and Family-Friendly

If work/life balance is important to you, you’ll be happy to know that according to a new report by Point2, Burlington ranked as the #1 Best City for Work/Life Balance in Ontario and #4 in all of Canada.

According to Moving Waldo, Burlington was ranked as the #5 Best Place to live in all of Canada, citing its extremely low crime severity index and welcoming communities.

You can find much more information on why Burlington remains a destination of choice for both businesses and families on Burlington’s Economic Development website.

You’ll be happy to know that despite the fact that Burlington ranks so high on the livability scale, real estate can be more affordable than the City Of Toronto.​

Anubhav Dayal

We still fondly recall our first conversation with Gyanesh Paliwal and Amrit five months back, and remember coming out from that meeting with a firm belief that if anyone can find us the right home, it would be Team Paliwal. While Gyanesh was always available - In Amrit, we found a perfect friend and a guide who exactly understood what our expectations were from our first home purchase.

He meticulously researched and consistently provided us with the best options, guidance and recommendations which are essential to come to a point where we exactly knew this is the one for us. It always warmed our hearts, that we had someone looking after our home search with the same zeal, excitement as us and that not only made our journey easier but the entire experience so much more enjoyable. We strongly recommend Team Paliwal to everyone who is in search of their first home or next home, and are looking for a partner that would always be by your side with the best in class support.

Verified Reviews of The Best Real Estate Team

Me and my wife Harshita comes with a background and strong belief of having the blessings of elders is ultra-important. Our signing the contract was purely because of Team Leader Gyanesh Paliwal. We really liked his knowledge, experience and as an elder and like a family member. Given this was our first Home experience and we were super anxious, on the closing day when we both were missing our parents the most to hear that voice go for it, you played that role. It was your voice in the end saying go for it gave me the courage to say yes. We hope that this would turn out to be one of our best decisions. In future we would love to work with you from the start till the end.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Akanksha and Gyanesh Paliwal of RE/MAX Team Paliwal. What started as a relationship with our real estate broker quickly evolved into a personal connection. The team has a deep understanding of the housing market but what stood out was always their attention to our unique needs. Gyanesh and Akanksha took out time to educate us as first time home buyer about the process of searching and purchasing a home before diving into the real home hunt. Akanksha’s approach to shift through the inventory and filter it down to our needs was very methodical which made it easier for us to make the final decision.

I wanna share my experience with Re/Max, Gyanesh Paliwal and his team, when the idea of buying house came up in our minds, we called Remax team Paliwal they explained everything in details, and kept following up with us till we made the decision to buy the house, then we met Gyanesh Paliwal, and they did everything to make us understand all the details of buying house as that was our first time, then the journey of viewing houses started, we visited tens of them in different places, they gave us opinion about each house, if any of them is in bad location or has something bad, they right away told us about it, then we came to the point that we found the house that we loved.

- Mohamed Elghazaly, October 2023
I was thinking of making an investment in GTA market. RE/MAX Agent Gyanesh Paliwal’s name was strongly recommended by my family. Gyanesh suggested me a few hand-picked great projects. He provided me full analysis of the project from a top builder. His support to make the right decision is great and he also coordinated and communicated with the builder on my behalf to complete the whole buying process.
