Community
Stoney Creek
A fast-growing community on Hamilton's east end, stretching from the Lake Ontario shoreline up the escarpment, with new subdivisions, vineyards, and easy QEW access.
Stoney Creek has grown from a lakeside town into one of Hamilton’s most active new-home markets, while still holding on to its older neighborhoods near the lake and the original Stoney Creek village core.
A community of two halves
Down near the lake, Stoney Creek’s older streets offer mature lots and proximity to Confederation Park and the GO station. Up on Stoney Creek Mountain, two decades of new subdivisions have brought a steady supply of detached and townhome product, popular with families moving out from Hamilton’s lower city or from further east in the GTA.
Local insight, street by street
Pricing in Stoney Creek can vary block to block depending on builder, school catchment, and proximity to the escarpment brow. I work across both the established lakeside streets and the newer Mountain subdivisions — browse current listings or get in touch to talk through what’s available.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stoney Creek part of Hamilton?
Yes — Stoney Creek has been part of the amalgamated City of Hamilton since 2001, but it retains its own distinct character, downtown core, and real estate market, often listed separately from "Hamilton" in MLS® data.
What kind of homes are being built in Stoney Creek?
Stoney Creek Mountain has seen substantial new-build activity over the past 15 years, with detached homes, townhomes, and low-rise condos aimed at young families and downsizers, alongside older neighborhoods closer to the lake.
Is Stoney Creek a good commuter location?
Stoney Creek has direct QEW access toward Niagara and the GTA, and the Confederation GO station (West Harbour/Lakeshore corridor) serves commuters heading toward Toronto.
What is the price range like in Stoney Creek?
Stoney Creek averages around $850,000, but pricing varies by area — older lakeside streets and newer Stoney Creek Mountain subdivisions can sit at different points within that range.
Are the schools in Stoney Creek good for families?
Stoney Creek is served by schools including Saltfleet District High School and Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School, and the area's newer subdivisions are popular with families for this reason.
