There is no culture downtown (Brant St) and everything has been pushed out to the non-pedestrian friendly Plains Road. Also, no one dares talks about it but the crime is insane and hardcore ie. human trafficking, murder, shootings, mafia spill over from Hamilton/Toronto, etc etc. Don't be fooled, invest in security systems as it's only going to get worse with wage disparity and lack of jobs.
I grew up in London (Ontario) for most of my life, and while I have some great memories & friends there, it's NOT what it used to be and has been going down hill over the last 20 years. In 2016 I moved to Burlington and I have to say this is one of the nicest cities I've ever lived in. I absolutely love it and plan on living the remainder of my life out here. It might not be perfect, it does have it's own issues, (and it's definitely more expensive) but of all the cities I've lived in, I feel most comfortable and safe here. I love going down to Spencer Smith Park during the summer. It might get busy on the weekends, but it's lively, people are just happy, and you could easily take your family and have a good time. I don't want to live anywhere else!
I grew up in Millcroft, Burlington and now live in LA. What I would do to still live in Burlington. The prices there are insane now, seems as high as best areas in LA, if not more!
The new Brampton. This comment was made to me by a former Bramptonian who left Brampton due to immigration. He sees the same outcome for Burlington. This is why many from the GTA have moved out of the area. Burlington used to be a wonderful choice as opposed to Toronto/Mississauga but now no more. GTA plus Hamilton appears as one large city. She mentions the beach/boardwalk. Yeah, just try to find parking.
Been in Burlington 25+ years and over 20 of them have been downtown in the core area. Burlington was once a beautiful sleepy town with when I first moved here. But with the unchecked condo growth and overpopulation making it difficult to get around and it as lost that flair it once had. Now home to shootings, homelessness, drugs and violence what was once unheard of in the community of Burlington is commonplace.
@johnw7610 I AGREE with you totally! Burlington has lost it's innocent small town flair. This is just the start of it and it is being orchestrated by design!
I work with nonprofits in the area and you really are taking a few isolated incidents and making a sweeping generalization. Maybe if more people volunteered (Which is one of our community’s biggest strengths) they’d be more balanced in their views. Burlington is not a hotbed for criminal activity, it’s actually less than any other community of our size in the GTA. I’m sorry that you find change threatening to your way of life and sense of safety, but I’m loving the diversity happening here and meeting new people who’ve become asset’s to our community.
Yes it does have its issues like bad drivers, i have been involved in a pretty bad accident on my bike and luckily survived, but all in all this is the best city in Ontario, sadly crime has increased here like break ins and armed robbery but its better than toronto and hamilton.
I lived there from 1998 - 2009. I moved back to burlington a few years ago, and couldn't be happier. Some of the stores are changed since then (I miss blockbuster/zellers), and there are houses/stores where there used to be just feilds, but it's still the burlington I remember for sure.
burlington sucks for every one because they didn't invest in public transport and make it safe for bike commute, so every one have to drive even for small distances, and that make congestion when every one drives a car. they keep ignoring public transport or bike commute just to let the NIMYBs get what they want, and not even highways are congested in almost all hours
I have lived in Burlington since 1990, yes real estate and congestion are unreal. This video is inaccurate. Every city has problems as it grows. Burlington was more affordable 20 years ago. your thoughts..
Appleby line is a very beautiful area! You can move anywhere in Burlington, it’s beautiful. Also consider other nearby areas like maple view mall, ikea and lakeshore!!
Agree with much of your Pros and Cons but your video title selection I don't think is correct. Would of been more appropriately called "The Pros and Cons of Living in Burlington Ontario".
Never understood how people whove lived here for a long time have so much hate almost seemingly for not being Toronto. I know its sort of a trend to crap on Burlington especially if you’ve lived here but cmon lol. The world gets a lot more difficult than Burlington, Ontario. It’s a perfectly fine city
@@leadnsteel1428 the amount of gross buildings being thrown up is horrible but ya its hard because of all these dbag companies that sue the city of burlington in provincial court when they’re denied building permits.. then not only are they allowed to build, they can build it twice as high. Definitely has its problems but its still a good city. But I still don’t see the parallels between Toronto & Burlington that you do. Ya prices are high and ya more buildings but its certainly not an expanding metropolis also prices are noticeably steeper in Toronto like its always been even if burlington is pricier than ever. I’m mainly talking to the people who trash burlington for things that u could say about any city like the classic “There’s nothing to do here” line among others that got popular with my generation. Idk im 26 and people my age hate burlington since they were in highschool and i just dont get it is all. It’s almost as if they’ve never ever experienced life outside of Burlington. Idk Maybe its my heritage & family history that I appreciate living in a nice city or something. I’ve lived in cities where there LITERALLY was nothing to do and burlington is not that lol.

I think all the cons mentioned exist in any part of GTA - traffic, construction, house prices! Not sure what you recommend as the best place - but downtown toronto also has soaring house prices, tons of construction and sh*t load of traffic!
Depends on what you're looking for. Burlington is a beautiful, clean and very safe, but it's expensive. Same with Oakville. The closer you are to the GTA, the more you're connected to a more active hub of life (being connected to Toronto with the Go system). The smaller cities around Southern Ontario might be a little (somewhat) more affordable, but each have their own set of issues and in some cases feel a little isolated.
I think an update on this video would be a good idea. I live near Burloak and it takes me 20 mins to get to the RBG… and that is going along Lakeshore. There are loads of transit buses that run often and the go train is never busy… I’ve never had to stand going in or out of Burlington to Toronto… even during rush hour. Our 4 bed house cost half of what was stated in the video.
Ok I have watched a few of your 'don't move to' based videos and they all seem to follow the same patterns, it's too expensive, too busy, not enough fun etc. I think we get it.
If you like sitting in traffic, move here! You can't leave. Weekend traffic is HORRIBLE. Niagara one way, Toronto the other, TRAFFIC!!! Burlington used to be a beautiful, affordable, safe community with fresh food grown locally. Things have changed. This no longer exists. If you like the constant noisy, non- stop Humm of traffic, move between the 401 and 407. Waterfront? Overcrowded and over rated. Hydro massive hydro towers follow the beach.
I have lived in Burlington since 2006. Our son was born and raised here. It is an outstanding community. I would hate to move away from here.

I don't want to live anywhere else!
Just moved to London here back in 2021. It's a nice city but the thing I don't like about it is the massive homeless population around where I live.
I grew up in Millcroft, Burlington and now live in LA. What I would do to still live in Burlington. The prices there are insane now, seems as high as best areas in LA, if not more!
RIGHT? Never understood how people can hate so hard on Burlington.
This video is about Burlington Ontario Canada not USA.
I’m aware it’s about the Ontario Burlington, I’m just commenting as someone who grew up there. Relax.
Burlington is the Shelbyville to Oakville
Yeah but Burlington has the Lemon Tree.
Yeah my home town was taken over it sucks. Dont move. we are over populated.

What you talking about ? Burlington is a safe low crime city, it’s not in America it’s in Canada there ain’t no shooting here

This is a lie burlington is the best city in Ontario. Clearly this girl just has an outrageous opinion
I laid out the pros and cons here. Thanks for sharing!
Burlington the best city!!!! Hahahahahahahaha. Maybe 20 years ago. Garbage city today.
Depends what u want out of a city
@@richardbas7574 What about Mississauga?
My aunt's house is there in her houses with $3,000,000
Yes it does have its issues like bad drivers, i have been involved in a pretty bad accident on my bike and luckily survived, but all in all this is the best city in Ontario, sadly crime has increased here like break ins and armed robbery but its better than toronto and hamilton.
@@LokeshThakur the average driver on the QEW is like a kid who borrowed his Dad's car for a joyride and wasn't quite ready for it
I have been living in Burlington since 2006 and girl i am so so happy that we choose this city to live .
I lived there from 1998 - 2009. I moved back to burlington a few years ago, and couldn't be happier. Some of the stores are changed since then (I miss blockbuster/zellers), and there are houses/stores where there used to be just feilds, but it's still the burlington I remember for sure.
i got out thx god living on acres the bc mountains mortgage free

Burloak to Royal Botanical Gardens is not 45 mins come on….
It'll be Brampton in three years
It is way too expensive in rents more than 3 thousand dollars to rent a small townhouse
Burlington is the best city in Ontario❤❤❤
lol fake news
This is some of the best information that I've found on moving to Ontario Canada!
Glad you've found it helpful!
Rude l live in Burlington and it’s safe,peaceful and beautiful so ldk why you are saying it it bad :(
it is not safe nor peaceful nor beautiful but i care a lot about what you think. stay safe
Tell about undermining your own business...😅
I live in Oakville and I can say I feel much better whenever I am in Burlington. The subtitle is just a clickbait. Burlington is a super nice place.
To the contrary, Burlington is an awesome city to live in with great and friendly people in. Everything is well organized and beautiful.
I have lived in Burlington since 1990, yes real estate and congestion are unreal. This video is inaccurate. Every city has problems as it grows. Burlington was more affordable 20 years ago. your thoughts..

Thinking bout moving to Burlington near appleby line
Appleby line is a very beautiful area! You can move anywhere in Burlington, it’s beautiful. Also consider other nearby areas like maple view mall, ikea and lakeshore!!
At least they can afford to work on the roads.
I just heard that Toronto said they don't have the money to fix their roads lol.... Toronto is screwed
Thanks for sharing!

I live here since 2015, and I love it and I don’t want more people to move in …

Except it's trying to be Toronto 2.0 they are just building more condos and the house prices are ridiculous.

Can you help us find our first home in Burlington?
Don’t use her. She has no clue about our city. She inserted b-roll from other countries in this video so obviously she’s not an expert on Burlington.
Burlington is my home town so ....ya . Please to move some place do you like . Great people. Great town .
I love Burlington and surrounding area .
😊Burlington doesn't suck Burlington has the best houses I've ever seen
But the girls do.
Recorded horizontally😀👍
I live in Burlington and it's such a vibrant, upscale and safe community. I don't want to leave! It's an awesome place to live.
Hello,

Burlington
Burlington, easily.

@@LivingInToronto *downtown Toronto. The other part of the 6ix kinda sucks
Bro Burlington is awesome
these comments are insane i’ve lived here my entire life and absolutely fucking despise it. keep speaking your truth
Thing I didn't like about Burlington was that it was impossible to get a family doctor. That was in 1999.
The people are super friendly, polite and kind too.
burlington has too much curropton
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I think an update on this video would be a good idea. I live near Burloak and it takes me 20 mins to get to the RBG… and that is going along Lakeshore.

So driving the 35 miles to Toronto on a freeway takes an hour. Ouch.
Really like your video!
