Castlemore
History:
Castlemore was a rural hamlet that emerged in the mid 1800s. It was situated along The Gore Road. Castlemore had a post office, a general store, a blacksmith shop, a church, and a schoolhouse. In the 1970s and 80s farms were being sold to developers which spelled the end of Castlemore. The Castlemore name came back into use when the present day Castlemore neighbourhood was developed in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Overview:
Castlemore is an upscale executive neighbourhood located in the north part of Brampton on the border with the Town of Caledon. The two main subdivisions within the neighbourhood are Castlemore Estates and the Vales of Castlemore. The entrance to this upscale residential enclave is surprisingly understated and discreet. However, once you enter the neighbourhood you are instantly awed by the size of the homes which are massive and are situated on gated estate lots that are well set back from the street. Castlemore’s pretty curvilinear street pattern meanders through gently undulating hills that are shaped by its natural setting within the West Humber River Valley.
Lifestyle:
Castlemore Plaza located at the corner location of Goreway Rd and Countryside Dr is scheduled to open Spring 2020. This plaza is expected to have a wide range of tenants which may include: a supermarket, a grocery store, restaurants, banking and medical and professional offices.
Homes:
Castlemore features upscale executive housing built in the early 2000s right up to the present. The premium lots are typically 45 to 60 feet wide but can be as large as two acres in size. Some of the gated houses are so massive they could literally be described as mansions and are among the largest in the GTA.
