Stoney Creek is a former town amalgamated into Hamilton in 2001, stretching from the Lake Ontario shoreline up to the top of the Niagara Escarpment. It carries real history — the 1813 Battle of Stoney Creek and Battlefield House among it — alongside a fast-changing housing market.
Down by the water you'll find newer condominium communities (Sapphire at Waterfront Trails, CoMo, The Shoreliner and The Bayliner) near Fifty Point Conservation Area and the waterfront trail, while inland and up the escarpment there are established homes and growing subdivisions. It's a neighbourhood with genuine variety, from lakeside condos to family houses.
The QEW and Red Hill Valley Parkway make getting around straightforward, and the wineries and orchards of neighbouring Winona and Fruitland give the east end a distinctive, semi-rural character.
