About Nelson
Nelson is one of Milton’s most rural communities, offering country living with easy access to the GTA. Located in the eastern part of Milton, the neighbourhood features rolling farmland, quiet country roads, and properties with space and privacy that are increasingly rare in the region.
Getting around is straightforward with Tremaine Road, Derry Road, Guelph Line, and Appleby Line connecting residents to surrounding areas. Highway 407 sits just south of the community, providing quick access to Burlington, Oakville, and points east without the congestion of Highway 401.
Families in the area can send children to P. L. Robertson Public School or Lumen Christi Catholic Elementary School. The rural setting means a quieter pace of life while still keeping essential services and amenities within reach.
