Quietest neighbourhoods in Burlington
Burlington's overall density is about 3,100 people per square kilometre, but the quietest pockets are far emptier than that. Highview Survey, Mount Nemo, and Lowville all sit under 50 people per square kilometre, and Appleby reports essentially no population density at all.
These are also solidly low-rise, single-family areas. About 56% of homes citywide are single-detached houses and 79% are owner-occupied, well above what you'd see in a condo-heavy core. The median age across Burlington is 44, and incomes in the quiet, low-density neighbourhoods run high, with Cedar Springs and Highview Survey both reporting median incomes above $150,000.
