Between 2001 and 2011, Milton was Canada’s fastest-growing municipality – and the number of new condos & homes available continues to rise. A 71% population increase has resulted in a thriving city with a wide array of retail and recreational amenities.

City Profile

Milton’s original downtown continues to be a hub for shopping and dining, and has also seen the construction of new condos & homes in the vicinity. In recent years, however, a large amount of retail development has occurred on the city’s outskirts, in particular the areas closer to Highway 401. A network of walking trails crisscross the city, while a number of neighborhood parks can be found throughout. To the west, the Niagara Escarpment provides a scenic backdrop. The ridge and its surroundings are home to a large amount of preserved forest space and several recreational areas.
