Bronte Creek???

,,,,, Back on topic,,,,At least they can do their juggling in a nice clean environment.,,,,,

When Ontario Parks gets round to re-introducing winter camping and builds a pedistrian walkway to the day use side of the park it will be an excellent place to go

Even in the few years I have camped there I have noticed things starting to grow in nicely. Small trees getting larger, fields filling with brush instead of just weeds and grass. Add the walkway and winter or even extending season camping and you have a winner.

The homes that back onto the park range from $900K to $1.2M and there are hundreds of them....and there are hundreds of other subdivisions that demand the same pricing.

Can someone explain what all these people do for a living to be able to afford a home like that?

15 years ago, we were looking at a home in Oakville, and didn't buy it. It was $350K at the time IIRC. We settled where we are now, for $275K. In 10 years, buddy who lives just off 9th line on Joshua's Creek, has a value of OVER $1.2 million on his home, whereas ours is maybe $450. While ours appreciated maybe 40%, his, and all others around him, appreciated 100-200% over the same time. No doubt, Oakville, and Burlington, are desireable areas, many residents work in Toronto, and wanted grass vs concrete and urban sprawl began. GO trains, wider highways, work-from-home, have allowed this area to become suburbia.

You should see what some of the homes that back on to Glen Abbey are going for! And they don't even hit the sell sheets when they list, they are sold before the sign even goes up.

For what its worth, we are 12 payments away from being mortage free! Aug 1/2011, or sooner if I want, we are free and clear.

Yah, this got off topic in a hurry didn't it?????

Despite the off topic'ness of this thread I figure I'd drop a note since I likely camp at Bronte more than most. It's almost our "home park". It is a nice park especially in the 3rd and 4th loop. You cannot see any houses back there and the highway noise is minimal. There are even some nicer sites along the 2nd loop. We often use when we want to just have a campfire, since the fuel bill is nadda.

As for the pool, haven't used it this year for "reasons" but we have used it over the years a lot and it is nice. Sometimes VERY crowded, but nice.

Bronte is not for everyone, but I like it.
