Garage Door Repair in Alton Village, Burlington

Alton Village is the newest large subdivision in Burlington and still has an entire section under construction, which has earned it the label of the new-build capital of the city. Its construction profile is unlike anywhere else here: 66 percent of dwellings were built between 2006 and 2010, 29 percent between 2011 and 2016, 3 percent between 2001 and 2005, and nothing at all before 2001. Single-detached houses account for 62 percent of the stock, semi-detached 16 percent and row houses 12 percent, mostly as two-storey properties.

The built form is stated plainly in local descriptions: homes are predominantly two storeys with small yards, short driveways and plenty of built-in double-car garages, and residents accept the small yards and short drives as part of the deal. Alton also sits at the end of Burlington's growth story. The Alton region was the last remaining greenfield site available for large-scale development in the city, and the Greenbelt has held the urban boundary in place since, with the Official Plan stating that expansion of settlement areas into the Greenbelt Plan is not permitted. Alton Village West, at Dundas and Walkers Line, is the final master-planned community under development.
