Neighbourhood Guide
Myrtleville / Mayfair
Brantford's prestigious residential pocket
Myrtleville and Mayfair form Brantford's most established and prestigious residential enclave. Located in the city's south end, these neighbourhoods are defined by mature tree-lined streets, generously sized lots, and a mix of stately mid-century homes and well-maintained bungalows. The area exudes quiet sophistication without the pretension often found in comparable suburbs. The housing stock is diverse within its upscale range: you will find beautifully maintained split-levels from the 1960s alongside renovated colonials and the occasional custom build. Lot sizes tend to be larger than the city average, with deep backyards and established gardens. Many homes back onto green spaces or ravines, adding to the sense of privacy and natural beauty. Myrtleville-Mayfair benefits from proximity to Brant Avenue and the city's cultural corridor, including the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts and Glenhyrst Art Gallery. The Brantford Golf and Country Club anchors the area's recreational offerings, while the Grand River is just a short drive away for trail walking and paddling.
