Burlington is basically cut in half by the QEW. On the east side of the QEW is the downtown area. Burlington does not have your typical downtown. Located along the shores of Lake Ontario, Burlington's downtown is full of condos, shops and restaurants and is very vibrant. The vast majority of apartment buildings are located in this area and prices do range quite a bit
Look for any number of apartments in and around the hospital and all along the lakeshore. These will be your priciest apartments since they often have a lake view and they put you in the center of the action. If you move inland just a little though, you can find some more reasonably priced properties. Look on Maple Avenue, Elgin Street and Nelson Avenue for an apartment that might be suitable to your budget.
To the west of the QEW you have mostly newer housing and retail. There are a few apartments to choose from and prices are lower here than in the downtown area.
Other Locations to Consider:
Burlington is located in close proximity to Hamilton, Oakville, Stoney Creek and Milton. Oakville apartment prices are comparable to Burlington's. Hamilton apartments on the other hand cost much less than Burlington apartments. Milton offers access to Hwy 401 which could lead to job opportunity in cities north of Mississauga and Toronto. Stoney Creek will likely be too far out if you want easy access to the GO Train but offers easier access to jobs in the Niagara Region as well as jobs in East Hamilton or Ancaster.
