About Clarke
In 1999, Milton got access to a new water supply, which meant the doors were wide open for development. Builder sales centres were in the middle of farm fields, and the Clarke and Dempsey neighbourhoods began to take shape at the turn of the millennium, with original purchase prices in the $140,000 to $230,000 range. The neighbourhood is now firmly established as a friendly place to live, with more mature trees and a closer proximity to Mississauga and Toronto than the brand new west neighbourhoods.
You Should Also Know
The first phases of Mattamy homes were built here, including the detached homes surrounding Trudeau Park. When Croft Avenue linked up with Laurier Avenue, it connected two distinct neighbourhoods into one area, and made getting to school much easier. Bonus for parents: Bruce Trail Public School offers on-site before-and-after school care for kids through the Milton Community Resource Centre.
The Neighbours
Not many original residents remain. A mix of people who have moved in sometime in the last decade. Older and younger children.
Perfect For
People who want to plant roots. With a mix of housing options, you can stay in this area from your first home until your last. Dog lovers will like the leash-free park in the north section of Cedar Hedge Road.
The Lifestyle
Multicultural. Your children will have a mix of every nationality in their class, with a healthy balance of all cultures represented.
Not So Great For
People who want brand new houses. Most of these homes have a little bit of wear and tear from their first decade, although some newer developments exist just west of Cedar Hedge Drive.
The Market
Small 1,100 square foot townhouses all the way up to 3,000+ square foot detached homes with double garages. There are a few condo options on Costigan, with great views overlooking greenspace.
