Why Dorchester?
Appeal
Roughly 70 percent of Dorchester workers commute to London, drawn back home by more space, quieter streets, and lower prices than comparable London neighbourhoods. The village has its own recreation infrastructure — including the Flight Exec Centre with two ice pads, a gymnasium, and a fitness centre — so residents rarely feel the need to drive to the city for daily activities.
Commute
Dorchester sits directly on Highway 401 with exits at County Road 32 and County Road 4, putting commuters in London's east end in under 20 minutes. Veterans Memorial Parkway provides a straight shot into the core.
Lifestyle
The Dorchester Fall Fair, one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the region at over 165 years of tradition, is the community's signature annual event. Residents also enjoy access to the Mill Pond Eco Trail, a 3.5 km loop through protected wetland, and the Thames Valley Parkway trail system that connects to London's extensive path network.
Homes in Dorchester are listed from $649,900 to $1,400,000.
