About Finney Terrace

Finney Terrace is a quiet residential lane in Milton's Harrison neighbourhood. It runs as a short cul-de-sac off Wettlaufer Terrace, set within a grid of newer streets west of Regional Road 25. The street sits close to the Niagara Escarpment, with Escarpment View Park and Velodrome Park just a few minutes away by car. Milton District Hospital and the GO station are both within a seven-minute drive. The street's compact scale and low traffic give it a distinctly suburban calm. It is the kind of address where neighbours know one another by sight.

The homes here

Finney Terrace is lined entirely with townhouses. The stock is consistent in form: two-storey freehold units with attached garages, built in the early 2010s. Exteriors are predominantly brick with stone accents, a treatment common to the area's late-era infill developments. Lot widths are typical for townhouse product of this period, with frontages around 20 to 25 feet. The street's orientation and setback create a uniform streetscape, with front lawns and short driveways.

Interior layouts vary between two and three bedrooms, with the larger units offering a second-floor family room. Basements are unfinished in most cases, leaving room for future finishing. Condition across the street is well-maintained; several homes have updated flooring and kitchen finishes. The townhouses here trade in a range consistent with Harrison's broader townhouse market, which typically settles around $760,000. The street's small size and consistent product type make it a straightforward comparison for buyers focused on freehold townhomes in northwest Milton.

Who this street suits

Buyers here accept a smaller lot and attached living in exchange for a lower entry price relative to Milton's detached stock.
