Retire in Style at Hearthstone by the Lake!
Where Independence Meets Effortless Retirement Living

Hearthstone by the Lake is designed for those who want to retire in style without giving up independence or ownership. Located on the shores of Lake Ontario at the Burlington–Oakville border, this condominium retirement community offers a refined lifestyle that blends freedom, comfort, and thoughtfully integrated support.

Unlike traditional retirement residences, Hearthstone is a condominium community. Residents own their suites outright — protecting their equity and maintaining full control over their home — while also enjoying access to retirement-focused services through a monthly clubhouse fee. This unique model offers the best of both worlds: private home ownership paired with the convenience and peace of mind of retirement living.

Each suite features a full kitchen, in-suite laundry, and private outdoor space such as a balcony, terrace, or patio, allowing residents to live exactly as they choose, on their own terms. Floor plans range from one-bedroom suites starting at approximately 680 sq ft to spacious two-bedroom plus den layouts offering up to 1,485 sq ft.

The monthly clubhouse fee provides access to the Hearthstone Club, which is available to residents seven days a week and supported by a full-time, on-site General Manager and trained staff. Services include 24/7 monitoring of fire, security, and emergency call systems, health and wellness coordination, social and educational programming, scheduled transportation for local outings, and light in-suite support such as monthly basic cleaning and access to handyman services.

Dining is also an important part of the Hearthstone lifestyle. Residents have access to daily lunch and dinner service in the Club dining room, along with coffee and tea in the Club Lounge. Included in the clubhouse fee is a monthly meal credit of $260.35, which can be used toward food and beverage purchases in the dining facilities — offering flexibility, convenience, and a social dining experience without obligation.

In addition to the clubhouse fee, residents pay standard condominium fees, which typically cover common elements, building maintenance, heat, water, and parking. This clear separation of ownership costs and lifestyle services allows residents to maintain transparency, flexibility, and control as their needs evolve.

Hearthstone by the Lake is ideal for those looking to simplify, stay connected, and enjoy a vibrant, supportive community — all while maintaining independence, dignity, and the freedom of home ownership.
