Georgetown Real Estate: Small-Town Halton Hills Living with GO Train Access

Georgetown is the largest community in the Town of Halton Hills, part of Halton Region, and sits on the banks of the Credit River about 40 km west of Toronto. It offers a historic downtown, river valleys and conservation areas, and a quieter pace, while staying connected to the rest of the GTA by GO train. Many of the buyers I speak with are moving from Brampton, Mississauga or Etobicoke and want more breathing room without giving up the commute.

Georgetown neighbourhoods at a glance

• Downtown Georgetown: The oldest part of town, around Main Street and Church Street, with independent shops and restaurants. The Halton Hills Cultural Centre shares a building with the Georgetown library on Church Street and includes an art gallery and the John Elliott Theatre.
• King Street and Queen Street area: The section that grew up around the railway, with older homes close to downtown.
• Delrex and Moore Park: Delrex was built in the 1950s by Rex Heslop, the builder of Rexdale, and Moore Park followed in 1962. Both have mature trees and mid-century homes, many of them renovated.
• Georgetown South: Development began in 1989 on farmland south of Silver Creek and now includes Arbour Glen, Stewart's Mills and Four Corners, with newer detached homes and townhomes.
• Glen Williams: A nearby hamlet in Halton Hills with the Credit River running through it, known for its village feel and larger lots.

Lifestyle and commuting

Nature is close in every direction: Silver Creek, Limehouse (with its historic lime kilns and Bruce Trail access) and Terra Cotta conservation areas are all in Halton Hills. Georgetown GO station is on the Kitchener line, which has served the town since the line opened in 1974, and Highway 7 runs through town.

Schools

Georgetown is served by the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board, with French immersion options. Confirm the school for any specific address with the board before you buy.

Who Georgetown suits

Georgetown suits families who want a small-town feel with GO access, buyers moving out from Peel or Toronto who want more space, and downsizers looking for a quieter community with a walkable downtown.
