Nestled in the northwest section of Aurora, Ontario, the Hills of St. Andrews offers a refined neighborhoodscape where luxury homes, mature trees and sculpted streets meet the natural topography of the region.
A bit of background
The Hills of St. Andrews (also referred to as the “St. Andrews on the Hill” neighbourhood) sits just north of Orchard Heights Boulevard and is bounded by Bathurst Street to the west and Yonge Street to the east. Historically the area developed around the grounds of St. Andrew’s College; a landmark independent boarding and day institution occupying 126 acres of campus on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and now the St. Anne’s School for girls as well.
The terrain itself is gently hilly and green, with winding roads and generous lots that reflect an upscale feel.
Why people love living here
- Premium lots & distinctive architecture: Large lots, mature landscaping, homes often in brick or Georgian style, and custom-built luxury dwellings dominate the area.
- Natural setting with convenience: While just a short drive from major arteries, the neighbourhood gives a feeling of escape into trees, space and elevation changes — a respectful nod to its moraine-backed setting.
- Strong real-estate standing: Homes in the Hills of St. Andrews tend to command higher price points than the broader Aurora average.
- Family-oriented and established: Ownership rates are high, and the neighbourhood is characterized by long-term residents, mature trees, community charm and a quiet, residential feel.
A snapshot of the lifestyle
In the Hills of St. Andrews, weekend afternoons might mean a stroll through leafy crescents, a round of golf at nearby club facilities, or a quick trip to the boutique plaza at the St. Andrews Shopping Centre. The winding roads and elevated terrain offer appealing vistas, while the large lots and upscale homes give space for gardens, outdoor living and privacy. Families benefit from the mature neighbourhood fabric, and those commuting benefit from good access to transit corridors while living in a “grown-in” rather than cookie-cutter community.
