The
large housing developments began in
the 1950s in the west and continued
in the 1970s southeast of Kleinburg,
in 1993 in the south, 1998 sporadically
in the northeast, 1990s south of Kleinburg
and the 2000s to the north. Kleinburg
has always been a small, quiet town,
attracting many affluent visitors
and residents. During its major expansion
in the 90's and early 2000's, many
new, large homes have been built.
The homes north and west of nashville
road typically range over 1 million
dollars. Older, larger and more established
properties are valued more than this.
Homes built near conservation areas
and the humber river are by far the
most expensive. Kleinburg is less
dependent on immigration than most
communities in the Greater Toronto
Area; only 20% of residents settled
from other countries, the majority
of those from Italy, Germany, the
United Kingdom, South Africa and Guyana.
Most of these (86%) settled in Kleinburg
before 1971.
