The Laurels in Milton: A Master-Planned Community Blending Nature, Modernity, and Connection

The Laurels is a new master-planned community in Milton, designed by Mattamy Homes to harmonize urban vibrancy with suburban comfort. Bordering Milton’s Natural Heritage System, it offers direct access to green spaces while remaining minutes from modern conveniences. The location places residents at the heart of one of the Greater Toronto Area’s fastest-growing towns, in a diverse hub known for innovation, inclusivity, and quality of life.

Surroundings and Lifestyle

The Laurels extends the experience of living alongside Milton’s Natural Heritage System into a community that balances green space with urban convenience. Conservation areas such as Kelso, Rattlesnake Point, and Sunny Mount Park provide hiking, cycling, and scenic escapes, while the Milton Community Sports Park, Livingston Park, and local golf clubs expand the options for recreation close to home.

Milton offers a lively mix of cultural venues, community facilities, and seasonal attractions that foster strong local connections. From year-round programs and events to farmers’ markets and family-friendly destinations, the town combines small-town charm with urban energy. A range of fitness and wellness studios further supports an active, balanced lifestyle.

Milton provides a full spectrum of educational opportunities, from established elementary and secondary schools to nearby colleges and universities. The Milton Education Village is now partially realized: Wilfrid Laurier University opened its first academic centre in September 2024, and Conestoga College opened new Milton campuses in 2024. Additional phases, including expanded Laurier programs and a Conestoga long-term care and healthcare campus, are expected.

Daily needs are equally well served with shops, restaurants, and essential services just minutes away. The result is a location that blends natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and long-term growth, making Milton one of the most balanced and dynamic communities in the GTA.

Smart, Comfortable, Connected Suites

Suites range from efficient one-bedroom layouts to spacious two-bedroom homes. Each suite is crafted with attention to detail, balancing style, comfort, and practical living.

Everyday living is enhanced by thoughtful details such as in-suite laundry, smart home technology, and built-in privacy measures. From digital entry locks and smart thermostats to pre-wired high-speed connectivity, the suites are designed for modern convenience, while sound-insulated bedroom walls provide an added layer of comfort and quiet.

High ceilings ranging up to 10 feet, smooth painted finishes, and sleek single-plank laminate flooring create an airy, contemporary aesthetic. Kitchens feature quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances scaled to suite size. Bathrooms emphasize both style and efficiency, with quartz-topped vanities, tile surrounds, and water-saving fixtures. 

Outdoor living is designed as a natural extension of each home, with private balconies and terraces that create space for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding in the fresh air. Select suites enhance the experience with added conveniences such as gas hookups for barbecues and water access for terrace gardens, blending practicality with lifestyle.

Sustainability at the Core

The Laurels sets itself apart with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability. Energy-efficient systems are standard, including in-suite energy recovery ventilators, heat pumps, and geothermal heating and cooling technology. These measures are projected to deliver a 36% reduction in energy use and a 50% reduction in carbon emissions compared to the Ontario Building Code SB-10 (2017) baseline for The Laurels 1.

Residents will also benefit from smart thermostats, EV charging stations, and a comprehensive smart building platform offering digital access, guest registration, parcel delivery notifications, and suite entry via smart locks. Together, these features support both comfort and cost efficiency while contributing to a lower environmental footprint.

Amenities Designed for Modern Living

Beyond the suites themselves, The Laurels fosters a lifestyle centred on connection, wellness, and convenience. Shared amenities include a fitness centre, co-working lounge with private Zoom rooms, and a combined lobby-lounge for flexible work and socializing. Outdoor areas are equally inviting, with social lounges, BBQ terraces, and a scenic promenade designed for gathering and relaxation.

Additional conveniences elevate daily life: concierge services, automated parcel lockers, and a cantina ensure seamless living, while bulk internet and smart home packages keep residents connected.

The Developer’s Vision

The Laurels is the next chapter for Mattamy Homes, North America’s largest privately owned homebuilder with more than 125,000 homes delivered over 45 years. Known for creating vibrant, livable neighbourhoods, Mattamy has launched nine GTA buildings in the past two years alone, underscoring its continued confidence in the region. Their vision for The Laurels is to provide “a neighbourhood that inspires you every day and a future that shines bright,” marrying modern living with long-term sustainability.

A Community Poised for Growth

The Laurels is scheduled for first occupancy in March 2028. Mattamy offers capped deposits along with Tarion warranty protection and rental flexibility during occupancy. A project average ROI of 21.45%* is estimated.

Together, these details reflect a community designed not just for today’s lifestyle, but also with a clear eye on long-term livability, sustainability, and growth. With its mix of nature, connectivity, and modern design, The Laurels represents a distinctive opportunity to become part of Milton’s evolving story.
