Burlington is what happens when a lakeside town grows up and refuses to get stressed. The downtown waterfront is a genuine daily-life perk, the Niagara Escarpment is the backdrop, and Hamilton's restaurant scene is fifteen minutes away.
Downsizers love Burlington because you can trade a big house for a downtown condo and still see the lake from your morning coffee.
