The Lakeshore area of Stoney Creek runs along Lake Ontario and the QEW, and it's the heart of the waterfront condo corridor — communities along North Service Road and Green Road put residents minutes from the shoreline, Confederation Beach Park and the Fifty Point marina and conservation area.
It's popular with buyers who want lower-maintenance, lake-adjacent living with quick highway access to Burlington, Hamilton and beyond, and it continues to see new development.
