Living in Roseland
Burlington, ON — a prestigious, tree-lined community in south Burlington near the lake
What kind of homes are for sale in Roseland?
Detached houses make up most listings, on streets such as Braemore Road, Wilton Street and Castleguard Crescent, and along Lakeshore Road itself. Lots are generous and the tree canopy is mature, and the original mid-century houses are steadily being renovated or replaced with custom homes. The attached options include townhouse complexes on New Street, Glencrest Road and Claridge Road, such as 469 Claridge Road, freehold townhouses on Maplehill Drive, and condos at 700 Dynes Road, a twelve-storey 1978 building, and Roseland Green on New Street.

What is it like to live in Roseland?
Roseland's appeal is a quiet, leafy setting a short trip from both the lake and downtown Burlington's restaurants, Spencer Smith Park and waterfront. Neighbourhood parks and schools are within walking distance of many homes, and schools come under the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board; confirm the school for any address. Burlington GO and Appleby GO are each a short drive, and the QEW is a few minutes north.
What should buyers check?
Many buyers purchase in Roseland to renovate or rebuild. Confirm the zoning, including any limits on house size, and look at recent Committee of Adjustment decisions nearby. Large trees may need permits to remove. Near the lake or creeks, check Conservation Halton's regulated areas. For an original house, focus on the electrical service, plumbing, foundation and roof, and get an insurance quote early.
Roseland compared, and prices
Shoreacres, to the east, is similar in character, with lakeside estates and post-war streets. Downtown Burlington, to the west, offers walkability and condos. The Roseland market report tracks monthly sold prices, but compare houses by lot size and condition, since originals and new builds sell very differently. Our home evaluation helps sellers; buyers pay only Ontario's land transfer tax (see our land transfer tax calculator).
