Ample green space, quiet streets, and an impressive selection of public and private schools make Westgate a premier destination for growing families. What it lacks in entertainment, dining, and retail, it more than makes up for with its integrated lake and convenient highway access. Plus, Westgate isn\u2019t too far from the retail, restaurant, and recreation hubs at the Queen Street Corridor and historic Downtown Brampton<\/a>. <\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”costOfLiving” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”0px|80px|28px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_dwelling_type_costs neighbourhood_id=”gta_brp_1033″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_dwelling_type_costs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”28px|80px|32px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_dwelling_type_trends neighbourhood_id=”gta_brp_1033″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” secondary_cta_text=”Mortgage Calculator” secondary_cta_url=”\/ca\/en\/real-estate\/calculators” secondary_cta_alt_text=”Mortgage Calculator” secondary_cta_color=”light” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_dwelling_type_trends][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”boundaryMap” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”48px|80px|40px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Developed by Canadian developer Bramalea Limited, the neighbourhood is now known as Westgate<\/a> was once a rural farming community. But all that changed when the land was snatched up with the goal of developing a commuter-friendly satellite city akin to those that popped up around Britain following the Second World War. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Bramalea Limited built-up Brampton in phases, with street names descending the alphabet as each phase progressed. As evidenced by street names starting with the letters \u201cH, L, and N,\u201d most of the homes here went up in the 1980s and \u201990s, symbolizing Westgate\u2019s position as a mid-phase contribution to the City of Brampton\u2019s overall development.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/dam\/atlas\/article-images\/neighbourhood-spotlight\/brampton\/westgate-park.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg” alt=”real estate professionals” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”wahi_neighbourhood_image” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”420px” border_radii=”on|32px|32px|32px|32px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”16px|80px|0px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The general architectural stylings of the Westgate neighbourhood reflect the period in which the buildings were constructed. Red-brick facades in the 1980s and \u201990s style abound, with homes built on spacious lots with yards in the front and the back. <\/p>

 <\/p>

The housing stock offers a mix of detached, semi-detached, and townhouse complexes with lots of two-car garages and plenty of three- and four-bedroom homes to choose from. Roughly 70% of the homes in this neighbourhood are detached, with some duplexes mixed in.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/dam\/atlas\/article-images\/neighbourhood-spotlight\/brampton\/westgate-homes2.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg” alt=”canadian real estate association” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”wahi_neighbourhood_image” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”420px” border_radii=”on|32px|32px|32px|32px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_id=”infographics” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”0px|80px|64px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][wadl_neighbourhood_infographics neighbourhood_id=”gta_brp_1033″ metropolitan_id=”ca_on_gta” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/wadl_neighbourhood_infographics][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”84%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”16px|80px|64px|80px|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|32px||32px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|32px||32px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The culture of Westgate is family-focused. The quiet streets, spacious parks, and conveniently located private and public schools have cultivated an attractive atmosphere for young and growing families. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Though you\u2019ll find a lot of family homes within Westgate\u2019s borders, you won\u2019t find many art exhibits or cultural events. That\u2019s not to say that residents are devoid of culture. On the contrary, the area\u2019s proximity to the city of Brampton\u2019s primary cultural centres provides them with a lot of options. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Nearby cultural landmarks include Gage Park in downtown Brampton<\/a> and Bramalea City Centre.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”64px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Shopping<\/h4>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Shopping for essentials is made easier by the grocery stores spread out along the neighbourhood\u2019s peripheral borders. Though there aren\u2019t many retail destinations of note, Westgate isn\u2019t far from some of the best consumer districts in all of Brampton. <\/p>

 <\/p>

The Bramalea City Centre shopping mall can be reached in under 10-minutes by car. With over 300 outlets and 139,355 square metres of retail space, Bramalea City Centre hails as one of the largest shopping malls in all of Canada. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Downtown Brampton is a bastion of smells and tastes too.

Unlike some of the other popular amenities touched on, residents don\u2019t have to look outside the borders of Westgate to seek satisfaction. This neighbourhood does in fact contain lots of public park space. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Bramalea Limited Community Park, Northampton Park, and Lafrance Park offer sizable solutions to the urge to get outside. Bramalea Limited Community Park and its fully enclosed, off-leash dog park is a notable hot spot for dog owners and dog lovers alike.<\/p> <\/div>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”40px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/dam\/atlas\/article-images\/neighbourhood-spotlight\/brampton\/westgate-park3.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg” alt=”cooperative selling system” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” module_class=”wahi_neighbourhood_image” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”420px” border_radii=”on|32px|32px|32px|32px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”64px” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

In-town recreation is limited to biking, hiking, and playing in the public parks. If you\u2019re willing to step outside the borders of Westgate though, you\u2019ll likely be impressed by what you find. <\/p>

 <\/p>

Chinguacousy Park isn\u2019t far from here, and it\u2019s home to a wide array of seasonal outdoor amenities. In the wintertime, you can enjoy outdoor skating, skiing, and curling. While in the summer months you\u2019ll find local families taking part in everything from paddleboats, beach volleyball, mini-golf, and more. <\/p>
