Raleigh. Set on the east Mountain above the escarpment, this residential pocket balances calm, well-kept streets with quick connections to the rest of Hamilton. Many homes are classic post‑war builds with generous yards, while thoughtful infill has added updated options for growing families. Nearby neighbourhoods like Sherwood and Hampton Heights expand your choices for parks, schools, and everyday conveniences, and major routes such as the LINC and Red Hill Valley Parkway are just minutes away.
Outdoor time comes easily here. The Escarpment Rail Trail offers sweeping lookouts and an easygoing route for walking and cycling, with trail details and access points on the City’s page for the Escarpment Rail Trail. Golfers can tee off at the municipally run King's Forest Golf Club, a local favorite set amid Red Hill Valley’s greenery. Weekend photo ops abound along the brow and at nearby waterfalls, and playgrounds and sports fields dot the area for after‑school energy.
Families value the education options, including the newly built Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School, serving east‑Mountain students with modern facilities and strong programming. Transit is straightforward too: the Hamilton Street Railway provides reliable bus service along Upper Gage, Upper Ottawa, and Mohawk, making commutes and campus runs simple.
Whether you’re weighing your first move or planning a change within the Mountain, Raleigh delivers space, convenience, and easy access to amenities.
