The Burlington rental market

Burlington's purpose-built rentals are mostly 1960s–80s low- and mid-rise buildings: along Lakeshore Road and Maple Avenue near downtown, on Plains Road in Aldershot, and near Brant Street and Guelph Line. Newer condo towers have gone up downtown and around Burlington GO on Fairview Street, where the City is directing growth. North of the QEW, Brant Hills, Headon Forest and Tyandaga are 1970s–80s family subdivisions, while Millcroft, Orchard and Alton Village are newer townhouse and detached neighbourhoods. Tenants include staff at Joseph Brant Hospital and the business parks along the QEW and 403, and commuters on the Lakeshore West line. Older apartment buildings here usually need the same attention: roofs, parking garages, windows and in-suite upgrades at turnover.

Apartment buildings & commercial property in Burlington

Burlington's rental apartments are mostly 1960s to 1980s low- and mid-rise buildings. They cluster near downtown on Lakeshore Road, Maple Avenue and Brant Street, along New Street toward Appleby Line in the east, and on Plains Road East in Aldershot. Newer towers are rising near Burlington GO on Fairview Street and around Mapleview Centre, where the City is directing growth. Tenants include Joseph Brant Hospital staff, workers from the QEW and 407 business parks and Lakeshore West commuters. Older buildings typically need roofs, parking garages and windows planned years ahead. Commercial property centres on the employment lands around Harvester Road, Fairview Street and Burloak Drive, where 1970s and 1980s multi-bay and flex buildings house manufacturers, distributors and trades. Mainway and the North Service Road between Walkers Line and Appleby Line add business-park office. Retail runs from Brant Street and the downtown lakefront to Plains Road in Aldershot and neighbourhood plazas across the city.

Local rules, handled

Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act governs tenancies; the City of Burlington handles zoning, property standards and building permits, while Halton Region runs water, wastewater and social housing. Burlington updated its policies in September 2023 to allow up to three units on most urban residential lots, and in 2025 Council amended its Official Plan to move toward four units as-of-right. Every additional unit still has to meet the Building Code and Fire Code. For apartment buildings, we track Fire Code inspections, elevator maintenance and the property standards by-law.

Across Ontario, the Residential Tenancies Act and the Ontario Standard Lease apply to most residential tenancies, and the rent increase guideline for units covered by rent control is 2.1% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027. How the guideline works →
