Strolls down a quiet, scenic street, catching June bugs in the backyard, flying kites… Sounds charming doesn’t it?

No, we aren’t describing an episode of ANY television show made in the 50s, we’re talking about that small town charm that people love so much. And what makes small town charm even better? When it integrates awesome urban amenities of course!

Not a lot of towns can boast about their urban amenities, but still retain that that ineffable charm. That’s what Summerlea, the master planned community by Empire, is all about. The collection of detached homes on 30,36 and 44 foot lots aims to offer the serenity and comfort of a small town while maintaining the sophisticated urban amenities that most folks have come to expect in any new development.

Summerlea is situated in the quaint yet vibrant town of Binbrook and is only minutes away from Hamilton. That means you’ll have plenty of space — units start from 1200 square feet and top off at 2799 square feet — but you’ll also be able to take advantage of urban conveniences like Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart and Fortinos. You’ll be able to hike in the Binbrook Conservation Area yet you’ll still be close to top notch health care services and top notch retail shopping options. Read more
