Experience the Charm of Ford Neighbourhood: Milton's Newest Community
Discover the allure of Ford, Milton — one of Milton’s newest and most vibrant residential areas. Named after the esteemed Ford family, who settled in Milton during the 1830s, this neighbourhood pays homage to their rich heritage as influential farmers and civic leaders in the former Trafalgar Township.
Developed primarily by the renowned homebuilder Mattamy Homes, Ford Neighbourhood showcases a collection of homes with distinctive wide lots, captivating architecture, and thoughtfully designed features.
Stroll along the welcoming sidewalks, immerse yourself in the lush greenspaces, or explore the interconnected trails and bicycle lanes that enhance the area's appeal. To prioritize safety and tranquillity, traffic-calming roundabouts encourage a slower driving pace for residents and visitors alike.
The Ford neighbourhood has quickly become one of Milton, Ontario's hottest real estate markets. Because this family-centric community of young professionals is one of the newest additions to the Greater Toronto Area, you can expect brand-new infrastructures, contemporary accommodations, and plenty of growth opportunities.
