What is it like to live in Alton Village?
Alton was planned around a central campus that combines Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School with the Haber Recreation Centre and a library branch on Tim Dobbie Drive, so many families can walk to school, the pool and programs. Parks and trails run through the subdivisions, shopping is along Dundas Street and Appleby Line, and Highway 407 is just north, which suits commuters heading to Oakville, Mississauga or Milton. Schools come under the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board; confirm the school for any address, since boundaries shift as enrolment grows.
What should buyers check in Alton?
Most homes are young, but the oldest are now close to twenty years old, so ask about water heaters, air conditioners and roofing. Confirm whether the water heater or furnace is rented. For freehold townhouses on private lanes, ask about common element fees. For the new condos, check the Tarion warranty and how the first-year budget compares with actual costs.
