Hamilton is an amazing city. Having just relocated here 4 months ago I am shocked that more people don't see the value We moved from the GTA and for a similar price range we now own a beautiful 3,600 square foot, 100 year old house close to escarpment and trails, close to locke st. Most of the west end of hamilton is beautiful. The people are highly educated (many work at hospitals and university)schools are amazing and the ability to walk to destinations is similar to Toronto's great neighbourhoods. Most of the people who own or have moved here have a connection to Hamilton (one of spouse is from here) so they know what it has to offer and how much has better it has become the past 10 years. The catch to Hamilton is that it is a like an american city, meaning once you get east of james the property values drop off significantly even though there is great housing stock. These areas will improve in time, but the west end is already there. The house prices in hamilton's beautiful old areas are easily less than half the amount of Toronto and people have steadily been moving west the past few years.
