I have a buddy that bought in that area from a different (but similar sounding builder).. small, willing to make changes to suit. Its great, but you gota live in Grimsby .. pass! I'd also be concerned with value of the home if you want to make the move.
Milton, Oakville, Mississauga. These areas are $ because of access to employment. I chose a random 'Streamside' community and my wife would be driving >1 hr, and myself 50 mins. I'll take 5 & 25
For certain, we are dealing with cookie cutter builders here, and Mattamy is the best of the best (in terms of limiting changes, keeping to their models etc, maximizing houses in small space). Everyone's gotta check off the list of priorities.
Myself its access to escarpment parks, work, proximity to family, activities for us and the kids (ball hockey for the adults, swimming, dance, piano lessons, monkeynastics for the kids). I know one of my neighbours moved to Milton because he was the only family with little kids on the street -- you can't go 10 ft before tripping over a dog, a preggy lady or small kids

I am having a new home built in Niagara region (between Stoney Creek and St. Catherines) by a home builder called Phelps Homes. Excellent builder, excellent product, will accomodate changes at your request, prices are very reasonable for changes, some are no charge at all. They meet with the client regularly and ensure that evertything is moving along nicely. This company started out as a custom home builder but is now building small sub divisions (100 homes at a time). However, they have kept that custom home builder approach when dealing with the "sub-division" home buyers (if you call 60' wide lots "standard"...). Can't say enough, to date about my experience with them. Check them out if you are thinking of moving to the Niagara area.
Oakville is nice, but the average person is nuts to pay the prices they are asking, my opinion only. I have decided not to stay in Milton with the amount of construction that is going to take place over the next 20 years... I live in the Tremmaine and Derry Rd area and the start of the useless "mega dollar dome" was the final straw...
