Welcome to the Harrison Neighbourhood
Harrison Milton Real Estate
Harrison occupies one of the most scenically positioned locations in all of Milton. Developed as part of the Hawthorne Village plan between 2008 and 2015 in the town’s southwest corner, many of its homes offer unobstructed views of the Niagara Escarpment, protected by the surrounding conservation land and farmlands that frame the neighbourhood on its western edge.

Why Harrison Stands Out
Escarpment Views You Don't Expect
Many homes offer unobstructed views of the Niagara Escarpment, protected by surrounding conservation land and farmlands.
Home to Canada's Only Velodrome
Harrison's proximity to the Mattamy National Cycling Centre, meeting international competition standards, is a distinction no other Milton neighbourhood can claim.
Positioned for What's Coming
Harrison is the closest neighbourhood to the planned Wilfrid Laurier University campus in Milton's education village, a development with the potential to reshape the area over the coming decade.
Quality Comparable to Scott, at a More Accessible Price
The quality is genuinely comparable to Milton's most in-demand communities in many respects, but the price point tends to be more accessible.

parks & green space in scott
Green space is woven into the fabric of this neighbourhood in a way that’s not always the case in newer communities. Key parks include Holloway Park, Scott Neighbourhood Park East and West, Savoline Park, and McCready Park, giving residents plenty of options for everyday walks, weekend recreation, and kids’ outdoor time. The escarpment trails just beyond the neighbourhood’s edge add a layer of natural access that most communities in the GTA can only aspire to.
Schools in the Scott Neighbourhood
Families considering Scott Milton real estate will find good options close to home. Escarpment View Public School serves junior kindergarten through grade eight, and Queen of Heaven Catholic Elementary School is also within the neighbourhood. For secondary school, students attend nearby institutions in adjacent communities. The school proximity and quality are among the reasons young families consistently rank Scott as one of their top choices in Milton.
Local Amenities Worth Knowing
Scott is a predominantly residential neighbourhood, which means everyday conveniences are mostly found along nearby commercial corridors rather than embedded in the streets themselves. Within minutes you’ll find a Pizza Pizza, Tim Hortons, Canada Post, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Total Health Pharmacy. For a fuller shopping experience, the wider Milton amenity base, including grocery stores, banks, the Milton District Hospital, and Highway 401 access, is a short drive away.
What Type of Homebuyer Fits the Area
Harrison draws families who want newer construction and escarpment views alongside strong schools, and buyers who are active enough to appreciate what the Velodrome, the bike lanes, and the conservation access actually mean in practice. It also draws buyers who have compared it to higher-priced western neighbourhoods and recognized that much of what they’re paying a premium for elsewhere is already present in Harrison at a more accessible price.
