A Hidden Gem in Burlington: The 490 Walkers Line Townhomes

This isn’t your typical, sprawling new-build site. What’s happening at 490 Walkers Line is something special—it’s a small, exclusive community being built with a ton of character.

Imagine a quiet little enclave of just 16 brand-new townhomes, tucked away in the established, leafy Dynes neighbourhood. It’s the perfect blend of getting a modern, never-lived-in home while still being in a mature area with big trees and a real sense of community.

The “Heart” of the Community

Here’s what makes this project so unique: the developer isn’t just clearing the land. They are carefully preserving and restoring the “John Henry Walker Jr. House,” a beautiful local heritage home from 1913, as the centerpiece of the community.

This gives the entire neighbourhood an instant story and a sense of history that you just can’t get with a typical new development. Instead of a cookie-cutter feel, you get a small, intimate streetscape that has a one-of-a-kind anchor.

What Are the Homes Like?

These are modern, 3-storey townhomes designed for real life. They’re all planned to have 3 bedrooms, making them ideal for young families, professionals who need a home office, or anyone who just wants that extra bit of space.

Best of all, you get your own private, single-car garage and a driveway spot—no more fighting for parking. The new homes will be arranged in a couple of small rows, creating a private little laneway that feels safe and set back from the main road.

The Location: South Burlington Convenience

You’re getting the best of both worlds here. You’re in a quiet residential spot, but you’re just a minute away from the corner of Walkers Line and New Street. This means:

* Groceries & Errands: You can easily walk or take a 2-minute drive to grocery stores, plazas, and the bank.
* Commuting: You’re super close to the Appleby GO Station and have easy access to the QEW.
* Lifestyle: You’re a short drive from the Burlington Centre, lovely local parks, and, of course, the beautiful Burlington waterfront.

This project is for someone who doesn’t want to live in a massive, anonymous complex. It’s for someone who appreciates character, wants the comfort of a brand-new home, and loves the convenience of living in an established South Burlington neighbourhood.
