Hamilton Beach is a distinctive strip of land between Lake Ontario and Hamilton Harbour, near the Burlington Canal and lift bridge. Once a community of summer cottages, it's now a mix of year-round homes and waterfront condominiums like 470 Beach Condos, with the beachfront and waterfront trail as its backyard.
It's a small, unique lakeside pocket for buyers who want water on both sides and a genuinely different setting from the rest of the city.
