Where is Aldershot?

Aldershot covers the western edge of Burlington, next to Hamilton Harbour and the Royal Botanical Gardens, with Plains Road running through its centre. The local MLS® system splits it into four areas: Aldershot West, East, Central and South (300 to 303).

What do detached homes in Aldershot cost?

Based on ITSO MLS® data for detached homes reported sold from April 1 to September 30, 2026:

Source: ITSO MLS® (Cornerstone board) data, Burlington areas 300–303 (Aldershot West, East, Central and South), detached homes reported sold April 1 – September 30, 2026. ITSO data only; sales listed only on other boards may be missing. Updated monthly.

What that tells us: Aldershot isn't one market. The south side, closer to the harbour, had most of the detached sales and a median well above the Burlington figure, while Aldershot Central sold closer to $1 million. Pricing here has to be pocket by pocket, which is exactly how we do it.
