How could we ever forget a staple in Burlington’s nightlife community -- when I created this video I didn’t realize they had a focus on a Toronto nightlife vibe & from their videos, looks like a great time! 🔥
👇🏽 Check them out if you’re looking for a night of dancing

Love living here! Nice video.
I’m completely in love with this city
Me too 🥰🙌🏼 Thanks so much for watching!
This is so great and had a lot of detail! Thank you :)
Thanks so much for watching! It was so much to try to pack into one video so I'm glad it's being so well received 😊🙏
Quite the thorough video, it really encompasses every major area of concern. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching & for always passing my name along to friends & family ❤️ Always feels amazing to have past clients still enjoying the content!
This is just what we asked for, keep up the good work ♥️
Thank so much for your patience! It's a lot of work creating these videos & I want to bring valuable content vs just getting something out there 😊 Thanks again for watching & for coming along on these tours 🙏
Great work Rochelle... Love your vids.
Thanks so much Bilquees! Appreciate you taking the time to comment & thank you for watching 🙏😊
This is a great video! Love the balance of pros and cons so buyers get the full picture of the city 🙌🏼
Thanks so much for watching Alex & it’s so hard to find a gentle way of sharing those negatives but, as you know, no where is perfect 😉😁
Thaank you so much!! I’m love this city! Thanks for information
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Nice, love the beautiful shots and editing
Hey! Thanks for checking it out 😊
Loved this. Made me look forward to visiting Burlungton again. When this covid madness is done.
Great video.
It will be so nice to get out & explore again! Hopefully sooner than later 😊
Burlington is closer geographically than Hamilton if you work in Toronto. Go transit is available to get into downtown Toronto. It can get pricey for houses in Burlington, but they are far more reasonable than what you would pay in Toronto. Property taxes are better than Hamilton. The community is safe and a great place to raise kids.
Thanks for the synopsis 😊 Burlington has lots of great things to offer! I will say, Hamilton also offers the GO & has an amazing amount of charm as well, so if the prices in Burlington are holding you back, Hamilton also has options 😉
Very well explained
Thanks so much! These pros & cons take a long time to create because there is just SO much to cover!
Awesome!!
Thanks for watching Mohammed! 🙏
I'd also add that a Different Drummer Books, downtown at Caroline & Locust St, is one of Canada's best known indie bookstores. Opened originally in 1970 and still a destination for people from Hamillton, Oakville and Mississauga. A gem
I love Different Drummer! It's where I pick up all of my local history books & a neighbour had her book signing there as well - a total gem in the community! Thanks so much for bringing it up 😊
Me and my husband is planning to buy a house in burlington. That's the reason am here and thank you for this video
I love how informative your videos are. I'm definitely considering Burlington for immigration purposes.
Thanks so much Samuel! They are a labour of love and there is just so much to share! Appreciate you watching & hopefully I'll get to say hi in person one day :D
@@TheGenuineRealtors It's my pleasure Rochelle. Keep up the good work.👍
I am saving for this place..thanks
Wow! Great work. Also seems like an awesome city :-)
It really does have a lot going for it! Thanks for checking the video out 🙏😊
You did a really good job on this video. I live in Oakville and won't move, but your show will be valuable to a lot of people. --BAK--
Thanks so much Brian! It's always great to see locals are also enjoying the videos 😊 I went to high school in Oakville & can absolutely understand why you wouldn't want to move - so many great communities!
what a beautiful city 🤩
Spot on Rochelle!
Thanks for allowing me to help you navigate buying here in Burlington! 😊🙏
@@TheGenuineRealtors It was the best decision. I haven't stopped singing your praises to friends and family. Anyone thinking about moving to the area should give you a call because of how hard you work for your clients. We appreciate everything you did helping us in calling Burlington home.
Burlington is the best place for starting a family
I’d have to agree with you there! ☺️ Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are doing a great job . I am highly impressed . Classic work by a classic girl ☺️
Appreciate it! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
Thanks 😊
Welcome!
Its a really good content....keep it up....can you make a video on CALGARY plz....thx
Thanks so much for watching the video!
I wish I were able to cover Calgary -- it's got some amazing places as well! But unfortunately it's a long distance from where I am & in another province altogether (Alberta).
Wow. Burlington has changed a lot since I lived there in the latter part of the 80’s.
It’s still a beautiful, peaceful city. It was the only city that almost twinned my hometown of Peterborough.
I love the location between Toronto, Hamilton and other major centres.
Stay great Burlington ❤️
I’m with you on that! 🥰🙌🏼
I'm just curious. What was it like in the 80's? :)
Your videos are amazingly informative, whenever i want to buy home, will contact you for sure.
Thanks so much TJ! It's a lot of work trying to compile all of this information & love I have for Burlington -- can't wait to branch out & cover some more of the cities/towns I serve 🙌 So happy you've stumbled across my channel & I'm here to help whenever you're ready or have questions! 😊
@@TheGenuineRealtors definitely i will reach out to you in future, also one suggestion, why don’t you make home tour video with prices. Best of luck
@@TJSlatch I went back and forth about posting the prices in the videos but they are changing so rapidly on a month by month basis. Wanting to allow these videos to have some long term shelf life, I chose to post the benchmark prices on my website for each area.
That way I can update as needed & the videos take a much longer time to become “stale”
@@TheGenuineRealtors i know the real estate market in canada is very hot from past 2-4 years. But you can post the final “sold price” if it is sold and if not then asking price, which will help to know the market in Burlington
bruh, you really caught me lacking with the newspaper in the front 4:59.
Caught him lackin in 1080HD
I'm always wondering if something will see their own home on my channel 😅 With a driveway so long, we'll cut you some slack 😉
Nice city !
I'd have to agree! Thanks so much for checking it out :)
question, do you have any idea how much were detached houses in Burlington way back in 2003? thanks
Hey Great video very helpful, me and my partener are looking to move over from the uk, is there any recommended neighbourhoods to rent in??
Most of the neighbourhoods are great for renting -- but where you end up will depend on what exactly you're looking for 😊 Feel free to email me & I can help you navigate what might work best for you. Hello@GenuineRealtor.com
I live there when the town turned into a city
Many moons ago indeed! 💛 Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼
Pro: Burlington Ontario homes are way cheaper compared to Vancouver
What about being next to Hamilton ?? Much better restaurants then Burlington
There are fantastic & award winning restaurants in Burlington, but yes, we absolutely get to travel into Hamilton to enjoy their awesome eats as well!
The video isn't about Hamilton, but they were mentioned for having the things that we don't have at all (like professional sports teams). Just like we are beside Oakville but I didn't mention their amazing marinas or trails either... Pros & Cons of Burlington is just about Burlington 😊
There is a Hamilton playlist on my channel as well if you're looking for more on the Hamilton side, Oakville will be coming in the months ahead 🙌
@@TheGenuineRealtors my favourite restaurants in Burlington. Di Mario. Lord Nelson and for casual Jake’s. Great atmosphere and the food is consistently good.
I was wondering how diverse/multi-cultural is Burlington?
Hey great question & hopefully I can navigate this in a way that makes sense - there are rules in place when it comes to sharing specifics (Fair Housing Laws) so, what I can do is email you a copy of the city’s demographic breakdown based on the last census.
It gives you some unbiased, factual insights to help you make your decision.
Happy to email you a copy - just shoot me an email reminding me what you were looking for & I’ll send your way!
Hello@GenuineRealtor.com
What does Burlington good to live and work there ? I am looking some Cities in Canada to live/work someday .Thks nice information.i am from Indonesia🙏
Thanks so much for watching & it will depend completely on your line of work as well as how far you are willing to commute each day...
Feel free to email me what you’re looking to do for work & I can share my thoughts 😊 hello@genuinerealtor.com
Burlington is warmer or hamilton ?
Hi Omid 👋🏼 Both are very similar. It’s more proximity to the lake that will dictate the temperature in both Cities… so in the Spring/Summer it’s typically cooler by the lake & in the Fall/Winter, it’s typically warmer by the lake 😊
Cons: you drive after 11 and you get pulled over by the opp and requested to give a brethalyzer🥱🥱
That's a new one for me! I've never been asked for a Breathalyzer in Burlington & I drive at all hours of the day/night 🤷🏻♀ Ride programs at the on & off ramps downtown I've driven through, but hey, at least that means there are fewer drunk drivers out there 🙌
I'm looking for 5 bedrooms and 4 bath near School and Masjid
Hi there! Thanks for watching & taking the time to leave a comment :)
Without knowing much of the details of what you are looking for, a quick search of 5+ bedroom homes in Burlington shows 22 currently for sale - $1.25 Million - $11.9 Million (CAD$)
The schools here are wonderful & if you have a specific area in mind I could let you know more -- but not sure what Masjid is so can't help you with that one until we get a chance to chat more :)
@@TheGenuineRealtors mosque 🕌
@@hello-sr6oz thank you for clarifying 🙏🏼
So the local mosque is in Longmoor near Fairview & Appleby Line - the name on Google would be for the Halton Islamic Association.
Hope that helps!
13 year old me taking notes 👁👄👁
Love that you’re setting some big goals! 🙌🏼 Thanks so much for watching
imo GO is not a pro more kinda of neutral .
It is for anyone relying on it to get to work 🤷🏻♀️ There are hundreds of places around the GTA without trains & only GO bus routes.
My dream com to Canada 🇨🇦please help me please
It's a great place to call home - feel free to email me at Hello@GenuineRealtor.com whenever you're ready to make a move to the area 😊
Con...they keep putting up big ass condos everywhere.
That was mentioned in the video and unfortunately seems to be the only way communities that are built out like Burlington will meet the density requirements the province has instilled 😕
