Stoney Creek, Ontario is a hidden gem! A growing beautiful community that sits on the western edge of Hamilton and forms the gateway to Niagara’s tender fruit lands. Located just 45 minutes from Downtown Toronto, and 45 minutes from Niagara Falls, you can find the perfect balance of life in this well sought after neighbourhood.

Here’s why he thinks Winona is the place to be in 2022/2023, and what you need to know about buying property here in this growing Winona, Stoney Creek real estate market.

Current Stoney Creek, Ontario Weather Forecast

What is the Stoney Creek community like?

I moved to Winona, Stoney Creek back in 2013 for a few reasons; firstly Winona is a beautiful community! This hidden gem provides gorgeous lake views of Lake Ontario and also scenic skylines of the Stoney Creek Mountain, giving it gorgeous landscapes and views on various ends and fronts. Stoney Creek’s proximity to both the lake and mountain make it a great place for people who enjoy being outside with nature, with plenty of landscapes for outdoor exploring and activities.

The water PH levels are lower than Mississauga & Toronto, thus making it an enjoyable lake front to pull up for a swim on a hot summers day! You can also be sure to find great hiking trails, golf courses, walking and bicycle boardwalks and swimmable waterfronts with room for lots of outdoor water activities.

“When you invest in Stoney Creek real estate, you are investing in a lifestyle.”

Stoney Creek has a warm local community feeling, the people are very friendly and the the school system is great. In the last seven or eight years, we’ve had three brand new schools built within one mile of each other in anticipation of the growth of Winona and Stoney Creek, and they all have a great reputation. Teachers look for areas like this to live and work in—you’re in the greenbelt, the gateway to wine country. Winona has one of the best conservation parks in the area—Fifty Point—and two marinas / beach fronts within miles of each other.

Who’s buying property in Winona, Stoney Creek?

I find a lot of professional couples and families are moving here from the city. People move here to escape the rat race. It feels safer, it’s slower-paced, and you can spend more time with your children & family. Kids have so many outside activities—you should see it when soccer, hockey and basketball starts up, it’s packed with kids socializing and riding bikes. Its a really good neighborhood to raise a family.
