Location

In the heart of Niagara is the charming City of Thorold – a community rich in history and brimming with culture and activity all within short access to the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Empire Legacy is conveniently located in close proximity to the U.S. border and ideally connected to major highways, minutes away from Highway 406, allowing for easy connections to the QEW and surrounding Southwestern Ontario regions.

The Neighbourhood

Tucked just below the south edge of St. Catharines off Highway 406, about an hour’s drive from Mississauga via the QEW, Thorold for many years was off the beaten path as most people moved to St. Catharines or Niagara Falls. According to regional population growth projections, Thorold is expected to reach about 30,000 people by 2041, from its current population of 18,800. Coupled with real estate prices, the city’s unique charm and small-town character have made an impact on homebuyers looking for a change of pace and a connection to nature. 

The proximity to the Welland Canal, which features a paved waterside trail and is part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route (linking a series of Niagara Trails to the Trans Canada Trail) makes it a great location for hikers and cycling enthusiasts. Enjoy natural green spaces, lush parks, conservation parks, and golf courses.
