Every part of the City of Burlington
Burlington neighbourhoods and reverse mortgages
A reverse mortgage follows the same rules in every Burlington neighbourhood. What changes from one part of the city to the next is the home itself: how old it is, what type it is and what it is worth. Those decide how much a lender will advance.

Along the lake and downtown
The southern part of the city, between the QEW and Lake Ontario, with downtown, the lakefront parks and Joseph Brant Hospital. Three of its neighbourhoods, Roseland, Indian Point and Shoreacres, have their own neighbourhood-character rules in the City's Official Plan.
- Downtown
- Brant Street, City Hall and Spencer Smith Park on the water. A mix of older houses and condo buildings. Condo owners qualify for a reverse mortgage too; each lender also reviews the building.
- Maple
- Along Maple Avenue, within walking distance of downtown, Spencer Smith Park and Beachway Park, with Joseph Brant Hospital on Lakeshore Road nearby.
- Roseland and Indian Point
- Lakeside neighbourhoods with their own neighbourhood-character rules in the City's Official Plan.
- Shoreacres
- East of Walkers Line and south of New Street, near Paletta Lakefront Park, with large lots and mature trees.
- Elizabeth Gardens
- In the southeast toward Oakville, east of Appleby Line and close to the lake.
Aldershot and the north-central streets
Aldershot is the part of the city closest to Hamilton and the Escarpment, with the Royal Botanical Gardens on its edge and the Aldershot GO station on the Lakeshore West line. Tyandaga and Brant Hills sit north of the QEW in the middle of the city.
- Aldershot
- A former village at the west end, between the Escarpment and Burlington Bay. The Aldershot GO station is one of three station areas where the City plans more homes over time.
- Tyandaga
- Around the Tyandaga golf course, north of the QEW.
- Brant Hills
- Curving family streets near Brant Street and Upper Middle Road, north of the downtown core.

- Palmer
- Central Burlington between Upper Middle Road and the QEW.
- Headon Forest
- Between Walkers Line and Guelph Line, with a trail along the hydro corridor.
