Convenient, Popular Milton Location

Milton is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Canada, with a projected population increase of 60% by 2031. This rapid growth is reflected in the local real estate market, where prices have appreciated by 47% over the past five years. Additionally, rental prices for one- and two-bedroom units have seen an impressive rise of 30% to 36% during the same period. The Halton region, where Milton is located, boasts a low vacancy rate of 0.2%, further underscoring the demand for housing in this area.

Future Outlook

Growth in the area is expected, particularly with the new Milton Education Village (MEV) project. This initiative aims to create a dynamic urban district designed to accommodate a population of at least 22,000 residents and generate jobs for nearly 2,900 individuals by 2051. The MEV will feature a mixed-use community with a focus on education and innovation, including a post-secondary campus capable of housing 3,000 students and 460 faculty/staff jobs by 2031. Ultimately, this campus is expected to expand to accommodate 15,000 students and 2,300 jobs, fostering a hub of learning and opportunity in the region.

The Milton Education Village will integrate cutting-edge academic institutions with outdoor recreational spaces and views of the Niagara Escarpment. A fully integrated transportation system will enhance connectivity between people, businesses, education, healthcare, and recreational opportunities, making the MEV a centre for innovative solutions and community engagement.
