      History:

      The Roseland Park survey dates back to 1923. The developer was Hughes Cleaver who was clearly influenced by English Garden Style suburbs that were popular at the time. Cleaver made sure the beautiful boulevards that shape the neighbourhood were lined with trees. Those trees are now fully mature and provide a beautiful green canopy for the neighbourhood. The Roseland Park survey was followed in 1925 by the Hillcrest Survey developed by Virgil Ross Hart who espoused the same neighbourhood design principles as Hughes Cleaver. The houses in this part of the neighbourhood were built in the 1930s and 40s.

      Overview:

      Roseland is a historic Burlington neighbourhood that dates back to the 1920s. The look and feel of this neighbourhood are reminiscent of the garden suburb style neighbourhood that originated in England. The wide streets and manicured boulevards are lined with a lush tree canopy that drapes over expansive green lawns. The housing stock both new and old compliment each other as all the houses in the neighbourhood have a traditional charm with classical architectural features. A pride of ownership is evident throughout the neighbourhood.
