Shades Mills Real Estate

Shades Mills refers to the residential streets that connect with Avenue Road and the conservation area. Shade's Mills is such a large conservation area that it spans a lot of the width of Fiddlesticks with opportunities for hiking and waterfront activities. The average home on the residential streets north of the conservation area is a detached two-story property with at least one garage - but usually two. There is an area of single-storey condo units between the waters of the conservation area and Franklin Boulevard.

Residents of the Shades Mills area enjoy the easiest access to one of the larger conservation areas in the city. The wooded areas and trails allow for hiking, cycling, picnicking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing while the water supports canoeing, fishing, swimming and ice fishing for a year full of outdoor activities. Schools, restaurants and other local businesses aren’t far off with Franklin Boulevard to the west and Saginaw Parkway to the north.
