Glen Abbey real estate

Real Estate

The housing here in Glen Abbey is really diverse. Most of the homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, so you’ll find lots of detached homes sitting on generously sized lots—think big backyards and wide driveways. Many of the homes are Georgian and Tudor-inspired designs, giving the neighbourhood a classic and timeless feel.

For those looking to renovate or update to their own taste, you can find plenty of options. And for those looking for something more turn-key, many families have added modern touches over the years, so you’re getting the solid build of an older home while not missing out on modern features.

Here’s a great example. This is a late 80s, classic 2-storey, all-brick home with 4 beds, 3 baths and a pool backing onto a park. This is walking distance to two schools and just a short drive to the community centre and major plaza for groceries. The perfect suburban location.

The streets in Glen Abbey are lined with mature trees, and the cul-de-sacs give it that classic suburban feel. It’s a place where kids can play outside, and you’re not dealing with tons of through traffic.

For those looking for more modern homes, you’re in luck. Off Bronte Road, just north of the Halton Regional Centre and northwest of the Deerfield Golf Club is a new development that replaced the old Saw-Whet Golf Course.

Here you can find a mix of luxury townhomes and detached homes generally over 3000sq.ft. Keep in mind this is a masterplanned new community, so lot sizes here are going to be tight along with streets. What it might lack in classic charm and space, it makes up for inside the house. Large 4-5 bedroom homes over 3000sq.ft with the most modern of finishes appeasing to today’s buyers.

Finally, through the rest of Glen Abbey you can also find townhomes (both freehold and condo) sprinkled throughout. You also have some low-rise condo options for those first-time home buyers, singles and seniors looking to move into the area.
