Unexpected Appeal:

Mountainview's origins as Mountain Gardens give it a street layout that surprises with its organic, winding character.

Unlike most postwar suburban developments planned on a grid, Mountainview was designed to follow the Niagara Escarpment's natural terrain. The result is a neighbourhood of curving streets and varied lot orientations that gives the area a more natural, park-like feel. This design philosophy, combined with decades of mature landscaping, creates a living environment that feels genuinely different from newer suburban developments nearby.
