Located in South-East Hamilton, The Rosedale neighbourhood is a quiet community surrounded by natural beauty. This mostly residential area is home to many outdoor activities such as hiking and biking trails, escarpment stairs and golf courses. The magnificent views of the Niagara Escarpment make this a beautiful neighbourhood to live in, and the close access to the wide expanses of green space make it easy to spend time close to nature.
The majority of homes in the Rosedale area are bungalows and 1.5 storey homes.
Many of the homes in this area are fully renovated and updated, and some have gorgeous ravine or escarpment lots. Occasionally, a home in Rosedale have been occupied by the same owner or family for several years. It could be a diamond in the rough waiting to be transformed into the jewel that it was meant to be.
Most of the homes in this area were built prior to 1960, primarily being single family detached homes. According to the recent census, the typical age range in this neighbourhood is 30-44 years old, with 11% of the homes containing families.
Accessibility
Conveniently located near the Kenilworth access, Red Hill Valley Parkway, Lincoln Alexander Parkway as well as the QEW Toronto and Niagara bound. Residents of Rosedale often tell me that one of the things that they love about the area, is the ease in driving ANYWHERE quickly!
Cycle friendly area with a designated bike lane along Lawrence Road and a Signed On-Street Bike Route along Cochrane Road. If you are traveling up or down the Escarpment, you’ll be happy to discover that the Kenilworth Stairs are designed with a bicycle gutter.
