A Boomer’s Best-Kept Secret in Burlington
Lost Forest Park is a gated manufactured and modular home community at 4449 Milburough Line, Burlington, ON, in north Burlington near Waterdown. While not officially designated 55+, the overwhelming majority of residents are Baby Boomers — and that’s exactly what makes it special.
This isn’t just a place to live. It’s a genuine community. Residents here have walking groups, fireside gatherings, dog groups, and the kind of neighbourly connection that’s hard to find anywhere else. People know each other. They look out for each other. And they chose to be here.
Spread across roughly 100 acres with paved streets and a quiet, established setting — it’s the kind of place that’s almost impossible to replicate at this price point in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

What Is a Land Lease? Here’s What You Need to Know
In Lost Forest Park, you own the home, but the park owns the land underneath it. Instead of owning the lot, you pay a monthly land lease fee.
For some buyers, that opens the door to a much lower purchase price than a comparable freehold property in Burlington. For others, the tradeoffs matter more. The important thing is understanding exactly how it works before you buy.
Pros
- Lower purchase price vs freehold
- Amenities included
- Established neighbourhood
- Less exterior maintenance
Cons
- Ongoing monthly land lease fee
- Conventional financing typically doesn’t apply
- Park rules apply
- Land doesn’t build equity the same way
Financing a Lost Forest Park Home
Financing is also different here. Conventional mortgages typically do not apply. Most buyers use a chattel mortgage, a personal loan, or cash. It’s worth talking to a lender early so you know exactly what you’re working with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost Forest Park
Is Lost Forest Park a 55+ community?
Lost Forest Park is not officially designated as a 55+ community, but the overwhelming majority of residents are Baby Boomers. The park and its culture are oriented toward that lifestyle — and that’s a big part of the appeal for most buyers.
Do you own the land in Lost Forest Park?
No — in Lost Forest Park, you typically own the home but lease the land from the park. That is why the monthly land lease fee is an important part of the ownership cost.
How much is the land lease fee in Lost Forest Park?
Lot rent is typically around $600 to $800 per month, depending on the home. Older units tend to be toward the lower end, while newer homes are often toward the higher end.
What does the land lease fee include?
The land lease fee generally covers water, sewer, trash pickup, and park maintenance. Owners pay a small annual property tax separately — it is not included in the land lease fee. When you factor all of that in alongside the dramatically lower purchase price compared to GTHA freehold or condo, the overall cost of ownership is still very favourable for most Boomer buyers.
Can you get a mortgage in Lost Forest Park?
Conventional mortgages typically do not apply in communities like this. Many buyers use a chattel mortgage, personal loan, or cash instead. Financing can be different from a traditional home purchase, so it is worth checking your options early.
Is Lost Forest Park a good fit for Boomers looking to downsize?
It’s one of the best-suited communities in the area for exactly that. Sell your freehold home, buy here for significantly less, and keep the difference for retirement. You still get your own detached home and lot — no condo fees, no shared walls, no elevators — plus a built-in community of people at the same stage of life.
Are there amenities in the park?
Yes. Lost Forest Park includes amenities such as a seasonal inground pool, a year-round community centre or pavilion, movie nights and entertainment, walking trails, gated entry, and paved streets throughout the community.
How is this different from buying a freehold home?
The biggest difference is that with a freehold home, you own both the house and the land. In Lost Forest Park, you own the home but lease the land, which usually means a lower purchase price but an ongoing monthly land lease fee. For some buyers that tradeoff makes sense. For others, freehold ownership is the better fit.
Is Lost Forest Park a good investment?
It depends on what you mean by investment. Lost Forest Park offers a lower entry price than many freehold homes in Burlington, which can make it attractive for buyers wanting affordability and a specific lifestyle. But because there is an ongoing land lease fee and you do not own the land, it usually makes more sense for lifestyle buyers than for someone looking at it purely as a traditional real estate investment.
