With development beginning in 2006, Alton Village is the newest residential community in Burlington, Ontario. Framed by the beautiful Niagara Escarpment and conveniently located close to the QEW, the 407 and the 403, Alton Village provides its residents with the tranquility of living far enough out of the hustle and bustle yet close enough to numerous amenities and major highway accesses.

Alton Village is approximately 412 hectares in size and should contain approximately 3300 dwelling units, housing 8000 residents with the potential to provide as many as 9000 employment opportunities.

Alton Village community is being developed with a strong focus on great urban design with attractive streetscapes. The development of Alton consists of a street network based on a grid pattern that provides multiple connections between neighbourhoods, open space and transit.

 It has been stated that Alton Village is the last major undeveloped area to be planned and developed within the designated urban area of Burlington.
