What is it like to live in the Orchard?
The Orchard is green and family-focused, with parks and trails through the subdivisions and the large natural area of Bronte Creek Provincial Park on its eastern edge, with its creek-valley trails and summer programs. Shopping is along Appleby Line and Dundas Street, including the Uptown area to the south. Appleby GO and the QEW are a short drive south, and Highway 407 is to the north. Schools come under the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board; confirm the assigned school for any address.
What should buyers check?
Homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s may be due for roofs, furnaces, air conditioners and windows, so ask what's been replaced. Check for any basement water and look for a sump pump and backwater valve. Lots backing onto the provincial park or creek valleys may fall within Conservation Halton's regulated area. For townhouse complexes and condos, read the status certificate and ask what the fee covers.
