Character
Silver Glen Preserve is set on about 27 acres in the west end and backs onto conservation land, so it feels tucked away and green. It was built by Reid's Heritage Homes and Sherwood.
Homes you'll find
The 174 homes are attached bungalows and townhomes, which makes this a popular choice for buyers who want main-floor living without the upkeep of a detached house.
Amenities & walkability
The community has walking trails and an outdoor pool. Everyday shopping on Highway 26 and the west-end grocery stores are a short drive away, as is Blue Mountain.
Trails nearby
Beyond the community's own trails, the Georgian Trail and the Town's West Circle route are close by for longer walks and rides.
Who it suits
Downsizers and retirees who want a bungalow, nature lovers, and anyone who prefers a quieter, smaller community.
Schools & shops
Collingwood's public elementary schools are Admiral Collingwood, Cameron Street, Connaught and Mountain View; high school students attend Collingwood Collegiate Institute (public) or Our Lady of the Bay (Catholic). School boundaries shift as town grows, so I always have buyers confirm the school for a specific address with the board's school locator before they fall in love with a house.
Peter's take
Silver Glen suits people who want to be close to the bay and Blue Mountain but surrounded by trees rather than a big resort.
