Beaty: homes, schools, and local life in east Milton

Beaty is one of the areas where New Milton began, with the first homes built in 2001 as part of the Bristol Survey between Derry Road, James Snow Parkway, Louis St. Laurent Avenue, and Thompson Road. Known for tree-lined streets with cast iron lamps, its own library branch, and two of the most highly regarded schools in town, Beaty is one of Milton's most consistently in-demand family neighbourhoods.

Why Do People Love Beaty?

The schools. Beaty is home to Hawthorne Village Public School and Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary, and families plan their moves around them. We see the same pattern year after year: a family starts out in a Beaty townhouse, and when it is time to move up to a detached home, they want to stay in the same district so the kids keep their school and their friends. That loyalty tells you everything about how this neighbourhood works. Add a continuous park corridor, the Beaty Branch library, and a true in-neighbourhood plaza, and it is easy to see why people stay.

Home Types

What are the homes like in Beaty?

Beaty splits into two sections along Clark Boulevard, and which side a home sits on tells you most of what you need to know about its size, its lot, and its price.


  • North of Clark Boulevard: predominantly townhouses and semi-detached homes. This is where a lot of Milton families start.
  • South of Clark Boulevard: larger lots, with double car garage detached homes and a share of single car garage homes.
  • One builder throughout: Beaty was built as a single-builder community, so the streetscape stays consistent from block to block. Mattamy Homes is known for not only the homes they build but the communities they create. That is not true of every Milton neighbourhood, and it shows.
  • Lots are wide rather than deep: the lots here were marketed on width, so a Beaty backyard is often shallower than the frontage suggests. Worth standing in before you assume.
  • Ceilings and finishes: the same build era as Dempsey and Clarke, so eight foot ceilings are standard and nine foot ceilings appear mostly in the larger homes.

What should buyers and sellers know about the Beaty market?

  • Demand comes from inside the neighbourhood: the move-up buyer for a detached home south of Clark Boulevard is very often a family already living north of it. That internal demand is one reason Beaty holds its value.
  • Renovated homes carry a premium: the neighbourhood is not old enough that renovation is compulsory, so updated homes are limited in number and sell accordingly.
  • Roofs are being replaced now: windows and furnaces follow. That is the maintenance window Beaty is entering, and it belongs in any buyer's budget.
  • The neighbourhood is complete: nothing is left to build in Beaty. New construction in this part of Milton is south of Louis St. Laurent Avenue.

"When New Milton was first developed we bought our first home in Beaty and loved it. By the time we needed something bigger, we had two requirements: a double car garage, and it had to be in Beaty. The kids never changed schools and never lost their friends."

Frequently Asked Beaty Questions

  • Which schools are in Beaty, and can children walk to them?

    Hawthorne Village Public School (HDSB) and Guardian Angels Catholic Elementary (HCDSB) are both inside Beaty, and most of the neighbourhood can walk to elementary school. Irma Coulson Public School (HDSB) is also in Beaty. Craig Kielburger Secondary School (HDSB) sits at the south end of the neighbourhood on Ferguson Drive, so many families walk to high school too. Schools are as per zoning to your home address.


  • What is the difference between north and south of Clark Boulevard in Beaty?

    North of Clark Boulevard is mostly townhouses and semi-detached homes. South of Clark Boulevard the lots are larger, with double car garage detached homes and some single car garage homes. Families frequently move from one side to the other as they outgrow their first house, which keeps them in the same school district.

  • Is there shopping inside Beaty?

    Yes, enough for everyday life. Hawthorne Village Square at Derry Road and Trudeau Drive is anchored by Rabba, which is open 24 hours, and includes medical and dental offices and Portabello's, the Italian restaurant and pizzeria that both Beaty and Clarke families walk to. The Metro plaza at Thompson Road and Louis St. Laurent covers a full grocery run, a bank, a drugstore, a dollar store, and more restaurants, with FreshCo and a Starbucks in the newer Kennedy Circle development at the same intersection. Beaty also has its own Milton Public Library branch, which few Milton neighbourhoods can say.

  • Is Beaty walkable?

    Beaty is one of Milton's most walkable neighbourhoods. A trail corridor runs the full length of the community and is the route residents use most, particularly for walking dogs, and the schools, parks, library, and plaza are all reachable on foot from most streets.

  • How busy do Beaty streets get at school time?

    Bennett Boulevard and Clark Boulevard get congested at drop-off and pickup, and the congestion is mostly children on foot, on bikes, and increasingly on e-bikes and e-scooters rather than cars. If you are considering a home near the schools, it is worth seeing the street at 8:30 in the morning before you buy.

  • Do homes in Beaty need renovations?

    Not as a rule, and that is the point. Beaty homes are at the stage where updates are a choice rather than a requirement, though roof replacement is now common and windows and furnaces are the next items in line. Homes that have been updated for design sell for noticeably more than those that have not.

  • Is Beaty still being built?

    No. Beaty is complete and has been for years. What has changed most over the past decade is the tree canopy, which has matured considerably. New construction in this part of Milton is south of Louis St. Laurent Avenue
