About Hamilton

Hamilton wraps around the west end of Lake Ontario and climbs the Niagara Escarpment, which locals call the Mountain. It takes in older homes in the lower city, suburban streets on the Mountain, and the former towns of Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek and Waterdown.

Before you rent

  • Look for a separate entrance, enough windows and ceiling height, and where the laundry is.
  • Check whether utilities are included or split as a share of the house's bills.
  • Ask whether the unit is a registered second unit with the city.
