New Homes Near Palgrave — North Hill in Upper Bolton
Palgrave is the hamlet on Highway 50 north of Bolton, surrounded by conservation land, estate lots and horse country. It has almost no new-build housing, so buyers who want the setting with a brand-new freehold home look south along the same highway to Upper Bolton — where North Hill by Solmar is coming, just off Highway 50 near Mount Hope Road and Columbia Way.
Palgrave in plain terms
Palgrave is a hamlet in the Town of Caledon on Highway 50, north of Bolton, in the rolling country where the Humber River headwaters and the Oak Ridges Moraine landscape meet. What defines it:
Conservation land. The Palgrave Conservation Area and the surrounding managed forest tracts are right there, with trail networks used for hiking, cycling and skiing.
Estate and rural lots. Housing is mostly large-lot rural and estate homes, plus a small hamlet core — very little of it new.
Equestrian country. The area around Palgrave is long associated with horse farms and riding facilities, part of Caledon's rural identity.
One main road. Highway 50 is the spine, running south through Bolton and on toward Highway 7 and the 427.
Why Palgrave-area buyers look at Upper Bolton
New freehold homes with warranty. A new home comes with Tarion new home warranty coverage and a licensed builder you can look up in the HCRA Ontario Builder Directory — a different proposition from an older rural resale.
Less property to maintain, same landscape. North Hill's extra-deep lots and pond, forest and green-space backings keep the outlook, on a serviced municipal street rather than a well and septic system.
Same highway, closer to everything. Upper Bolton is on Highway 50 like Palgrave, but at the edge of Bolton's shops, schools and community centres rather than well north of them.
Right-sizing. Many rural owners move to a freehold town or a right-sized detached home nearby rather than leaving the area. North Hill offers both product types in one community.

Will a new home in Upper Bolton be on municipal services?
North Hill is a planned community inside Bolton's urban boundary under the Town of Caledon's Bolton North Hill Secondary Plan, so it is developed with municipal servicing rather than private wells and septic systems. Confirm the servicing details for your specific lot in your agreement.
Can I still back onto nature in a new community?
At North Hill, select homes back onto ponds, mature forest and natural green space, and the plan includes a central community park within more than 17 acres of green space. Which specific lots back onto which feature is released with the launch package — nobody can confirm that for you before then.
Does a new home come with a warranty?
New homes in Ontario are covered by Tarion new home warranty protection, and builders must be licensed with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority. You can look up any builder's licence and record in the HCRA Ontario Builder Directory.
