Parkside sits in a quiet Thorold neighbourhood right beside McMillan Park. It’s also minutes from the St. Catharines GO Station and Hwy 406, so getting around Niagara and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is easy.
In addition, Brock University is about 4 km away, and downtown Thorold’s shops and restaurants are a short drive. As a result, you get a peaceful home base with everything you need close by. For more on getting around, see our guide to living near the GO Train.
Everyday errands are easy too. For example, grocery stores, coffee shops and pharmacies are all a short drive away, and the Welland Canal trails are close by for walks and bike rides. Meanwhile, Niagara wine country and Niagara Falls are both within about 15 minutes for weekend plans.
Located centrally within the Niagara region, just 5 minutes from St. Catharines and 10 minutes from Niagara Falls
