Weston and Mount Dennis offer terrific value for a family with limited income. With its own GO Station, it's only a 17 minute commute from Weston to Union. The town has some really good things going for it—a village area with lots of choices and good shopping, a few really nice infill projects for those who want move-in condition, and a terrific farmers' market from June to October. Two kilometers south of the GO Station, you can find a quiet enclave of freehold townhouses off of Weston Road, near Jane. These 3-bedroom homes are under $300K. They have their own garage, small yards and are between 1600 and 1900 square feet. Many still have their CMHC warranty. If you are a young family, just starting out - you might want to take a second look at this safe community in an affordable part of town. The area is also served by a new award-winning school (Portage Trail School)and has its own access to the Humber River cycling and walking trails.
