What are the best features of Hamilton West? McMaster (Mac) is the biggest draw in this area. The McMaster campus features a top university, and one of the leading children’s hospitals in the country. With a total student population of 30,000+ and employing 10,000 staff, there is consistently a demand for housing in this area. Though there is a high student population, there are a lot of families mixed in this area as well. 

Thinking of moving to Hamilton West? Whether it’s to invest or to live here yourself, I always suggest coming to get a feel for the areas in person. Westdale has a cute “downtown” feel, with lots of little shops and cafes. The Snooty Fox is a favorite pub in the area! Ainslie Woods has a bit more of a suburban feel, and has more homes that were built in the 50s. Grab a bite at Tally-Ho (the roast beef sandwiches are famous) and go for a drive through some of the streets there to see what I mean!
