What is it like to live in Rathwood?
Rathwood is settled and practical. The Burnhamthorpe Community Centre on Gulleden Drive has recreation facilities and programs, Rockwood Mall covers everyday shopping, and Square One is a short drive west. Parks and trails follow the creek corridors, and Highways 403 and 427 and Pearson Airport are close, which suits commuters and airport workers. Schools come under the Peel District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board; confirm the school for any address.
What should buyers check?
Houses and complexes here are forty to fifty years old. For a house, ask about the roof, windows, electrical panel, plumbing and any basement water, and get an early insurance quote. For a townhouse complex or tower, the reserve fund study and status certificate matter most: look for recent and planned major work and any special assessments, and ask what the fee covers.
