Downtown / James North

James Street North has turned Hamilton's once industrial downtown core into one of Ontario's most talked about arts districts, anchored by the monthly Art Crawl, galleries and the James North GO station. Century old commercial buildings now hold studios, restaurants and loft conversions a short walk from Hamilton Harbour.

Getting around

The James North GO station connects downtown Hamilton directly to Toronto's Union Station, with HSR buses covering the rest of the city.

Schools & family

McMaster University sits a short drive west, alongside public and Catholic elementary schools serving downtown's growing residential population.

Shopping & lifestyle

James Street North's galleries, restaurants and shops anchor the district, with the wider downtown core close by for everyday needs.
