Real Estate in Durand

Being a part of central Hamilton comes with a storied past. Durand is no exception, as the neighbourhood was informally established in the 1790s with the first few acres of the future city. Development would start a little later, but some historic buildings in Durand date back to the mid-1850s. The majority of properties in Durand are apartments and condominiums. There are also semi and detached properties available as well as opportunities to own multi-family dwellings. Condo units usually range from $300,000 to $350,000 for about 1,000 square feet of living space. Newer condominiums ask more for slightly less space on average, but updated amenities. Finding a semi or detached property is a little rarer, but prices start in the mid $600,000 and can easily cross the million dollar mark depending on the lot size and living space offered. The stunning historic homes with upwards of 5 bedrooms will almost certainly be closer to $1.5 million as is owning a larger multi-family dwelling. Durand is one of the more expensive Hamilton neighbourhoods to rent an apartment, with larger and newer units available, but an average price close to $1,500 for a one bedroom unit.
