At Northshore, our National Homes community on Plains Road East in Burlington's LaSalle neighbourhood, the homes are move-in ready and Aldershot GO, on the Lakeshore West line, is a short drive away.

Aldershot GO, on the record
Aldershot GO is at 1199 Waterdown Road on the Lakeshore West line. GO Transit's station page lists it as a train and bus station, with a VIA Rail connection, two parking lots (a main lot of 934 spaces and a south lot of 705), reserved and carpool parking, and bike racks.
Departure times and frequencies change with each schedule period, so GO Transit's routes and departures page is the authority; we do not quote them here.
The commute from Northshore
Our listed figures are 2 minutes to Aldershot GO, 6 minutes to Burlington GO, and "minutes" to the QEW, 403 and 407. Your route will vary with the hour, but the geography is simple: Plains Road East is the LaSalle corridor, and Aldershot GO is the station on that side of the city.
If you work downtown a few days a week and would rather read on the train than sit on the QEW, a station this close changes the shape of your day. In a one-car household, one of you can take the train while the other keeps the car. If your office has gone hybrid, the commute becomes a choice, not a burden.
Suites and townhomes
Northshore is two boutique mid-rise condominium buildings and a collection of townhomes. Suites come in one, two and three bedrooms, plus expansive penthouse residences. Features include 9-foot and 10-foot ceilings (as per plan), quartz kitchen and bathroom countertops, contemporary cabinetry with soft-close doors, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, luxury laminate flooring, balconies, patios or terraces, smart home technology, and individually controlled heating and cooling. Northshore is a "LEED® designed community"; we do not state a certification level.
The townhomes are a collection of modern bungalow-style garden suites and two-storey terrace townhomes, designed with private entrances, open living spaces and spectacular rooftop patios, in two- and three-bedroom plans.
If you want to lock the door and go, a suite usually fits, since the building looks after the outside. If you come home with a dog, a bike or a wish for a patio, a townhome with a private front door may suit you better. With both on one site, a couple who disagree can still land in the same community.
Finished amenities for commuters
Our amenities are built, not rendered: a Rooftop Skyview Terrace with outdoor dining, lounges and BBQs; a Fitness Centre and Yoga Studio; a Co-working Lounge and Private Boardroom; a Social Lounge and Party Room; a Chef's Kitchen and Bar; a Dog Wash Station; Smart Parcel Lockers; Bicycle Storage; and Visitor Parking.
For a commuter, three stand out. The co-working lounge and boardroom are for the days you stay home: a desk that is not the kitchen table, and a room with a door for the call that needs one. The parcel lockers hold deliveries while you are on the train. The fitness centre is there for the evening you get home late and would not drive to a gym.
