As land values across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) continue to rise, finding suitably spacious homes is becoming a challenge for many young families. While the realities of the real estate market put detached, single-home ownership out of reach for many—particularly in more sought-after communities—the centralized maintenance and worry-free lifestyle afforded by condominiums is becoming more popular. However, with an investor-driven condominium market dominated by smaller suites, families housing is in short supply. To bridge this gap, a growing number of townhouse projects strive to combine the the convenience—and relative affordability—of condo living with the family-friendly configuration of single homes.
In Oakville, the townhouses at Dunpar's Trafalgar Ridge are designed with a family-oriented character in mind. Ranging in size from 1,940 ft to 2,800 ft², the development's 112 townhomes feature three bedrooms and two-car garages, with landscaped grounds fronting each unit. For individual suites, a comprehensive list of features and finishes is available on the project's official website.
Accessible via a quiet cul de sac, Trafalgar Ridge's 11 townhouse buildings will be connected by a series of pedestrian laneways, with each unit emerging onto a landscaped walkway. Although the development will be located alongside Trafalgar Road—one of Oakville's major arteries—the community will be organized around the much quieter Lillykin Street, which terminates in a cul de sac bordering the site.
Located between Upper Middle Road and Dundas Street, a 10 minute drive north takes residents to Highway 407, and a 10 minute drive south connects to QEW/Highway 403. As such, the project's location will allow for quick commutes in and out of the city. For those taking public transit, meanwhile, the Oakville GO station—the second busiest station on the GO system—is a short bus ride south on Trafalgar Road.
