GO Transit Expansion Could Reshape Niagara’s Buyer Demand


GO Train access has always been a talking point in Niagara real estate, but it’s becoming more than just a talking point.

In April 2025, Metrolinx released updates confirming continued progress on GO Train service expansions through Grimsby, St. Catharines, and Niagara Falls, including:

  • Platform extensions

  • Schedule expansions

  • Transit-oriented development incentives in nearby zones


Why this matters:

Buyers working in Hamilton or the GTA are watching closely. Even the potential for easier commuting makes places like Beamsville, Grimsby, and north-end St. Catharines more attractive.


What we expect:

  • Increased buyer demand in walkable pockets near GO stations

  • More interest in pre-construction developments near transit corridors

  • Investors targeting long-term appreciation in connected areas


If you're buying: Look at areas with GO access, even if service is limited right now. In a few years, you might be holding a very smart piece of real estate.

If you're selling: Living within 15 minutes of a GO station? That’s a selling feature. Mention it.


Making smart moves starts with smart advice.
