Townhouses For Sale in Scott, Milton

From an 1821 farm to a mixed Sherwood neighbourhood

William Scott settled this land in 1821, but the area wasn't developed as a community until Milton's Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan was put in place in 2004. Scott is bordered by Derry Road, Bronte Street, Tremaine Road and Main Street, with a CN rail line along one edge.

Scott's housing mix is unusually varied for Milton. There are detached and attached single-family homes, townhouses, and mid-rise and high-rise condo buildings. The architecture leans traditional, with detached and semi-detached homes in classic styles.

For townhouse buyers, that variety matters. You can find freehold rows, condo townhouses and condo apartments within a short walk of each other, which gives Scott more options for different budgets than Milton's more uniform subdivisions.

Three budgets on one set of streets

Scott's mix of condo buildings and townhouses makes it a natural fit for downsizers who want one-level living or a condo town with exterior maintenance handled. First-time buyers like the range of entry points. Families often look at Scott's freehold rows for their proximity to parks and the GO station.

Investors look at Scott for the same reason. Condo apartments and townhouses close to Milton GO appeal to renters who commute, and the range of unit sizes means more choice. Check each building's leasing rules, and remember that condo fees and any special assessments affect the numbers.

Sherwood District Park and the ponds

Scott Neighbourhood Park East and West serve the community, and Sherwood District Park sits north of Main Street. There are several stormwater ponds and smaller parks through the area.

The Halton conservation areas on the escarpment, including Rattlesnake Point, Kelso, Glen Eden and Crawford Lake, are a short drive west. For townhouse owners with small yards, having these close by is a big draw.

Townhouses that back onto a pond or park tend to draw the most interest. If a row backs onto a stormwater pond, ask about any regulated setback that limits decks or fences, since these ponds are part of the area's drainage system and may come under Conservation Halton or Town rules.

Condo buildings change the checklist

Because Scott has more condo buildings than most Milton neighbourhoods, buyers here may be choosing between a freehold row, a condo townhouse and a condo apartment. Each has a different cost structure.

For any condo, read the status certificate, reserve fund study and rules. Younger corporations are still building their reserves.

Close to Milton GO

Scott has easy access to Milton GO station and about 25 transit stops through the neighbourhood. The Milton line runs mostly at rush hour now, with two-way, all-day service promised by 2031.

By car, Toronto is about 50 minutes away outside rush hour, via the 401 and the 427 or the 407 and the QEW.

Main Street, along the north edge, connects Scott to Milton's historic downtown, with its shops, restaurants and the Town's older civic buildings. Bronte Street and Derry Road handle most of the traffic heading toward the 401.
