Discover Walnut Creek Towns, a new residential community by Acorn Developments in Sharon, East Gwillimbury, Ontario. Located near Leslie Street and Green Lane, this boutique collection will introduce 43 modern townhomes in a natural setting beside Sharon Creek.
The development will feature two types of homes: back-to-back townhomes and rear-lane townhomes. With advertised starting prices from the high $500s, Walnut Creek offers buyers an opportunity to explore new townhome living in York Region, north of Toronto.
Designed around a smaller residential setting, Walnut Creek Towns combines contemporary architecture with nearby green spaces, walking trails and convenient access to everyday amenities. Its location also provides connections to Highway 404, East Gwillimbury GO Station, Newmarket shopping destinations and surrounding communities.
Developed by Acorn Developments, Walnut Creek is planned as a collection of 43 homes rather than a large-scale residential development. Buyers can explore two different townhome configurations, depending on their preferred layout, space requirements and budget.
With registration open and the Fall 2026 launch planned, Walnut Creek Towns is a new option for buyers considering pre-construction townhomes in East Gwillimbury.
Walnut Creek Towns is planned as an intimate residential community featuring 43 townhomes in Sharon, East Gwillimbury.
The development is located beside Sharon Creek, with existing trees and natural surroundings contributing to the character of the area. The project is designed to offer a quieter residential environment while keeping residents connected to nearby shopping, transportation and community services.
Unlike larger master-planned developments with hundreds of homes, Walnut Creek will have a more limited collection of residences. This smaller scale is one of the main features of the project.
The development will include two principal home styles:
Back-to-back townhomes.
Rear-lane townhomes.
Both options provide different layouts and approaches to residential design, giving buyers a choice when comparing their housing needs.
One of the defining features of Walnut Creek is its location beside Sharon Creek.
The surrounding area includes natural landscapes, established trees and outdoor recreational opportunities. Nearby walking trails provide additional options for residents who enjoy spending time outdoors.
The location offers a different residential setting from the denser condominium and townhome developments found in some parts of the Greater Toronto Area.
For buyers who want access to nature while remaining within reach of urban conveniences, Sharon offers an interesting balance.
Back-to-back townhomes will form part of the Walnut Creek collection, with advertised starting prices from the high $500s.
This housing style is designed with homes sharing rear walls, creating a more compact residential configuration.
Back-to-back townhomes can provide an alternative for buyers who want a multi-level home without purchasing a larger detached property.
Potential advantages include:
Multi-level living arrangements.
Efficient use of interior space.
Contemporary architectural designs.
Access to the wider Walnut Creek community.
A potentially lower entry price compared with larger townhome configurations.
Third-party project information reports approximate sizes starting from 1,589 sq. ft. However, official floor plans and exact model specifications should be confirmed with Acorn when released.
Walnut Creek will also include rear-lane townhomes.
This design places vehicle access and garages at the rear of the property, helping maintain a more consistent front-facing streetscape.
Rear-lane townhomes can offer a different arrangement from conventional townhomes with front-facing garages and driveways.
Some reported project information indicates that certain rear-lane designs may include two-car garages. Buyers should confirm the garage configuration and available models through the official builder package.
The rear-lane collection is expected to provide additional choices for buyers who want a different layout and parking arrangement.
Acorn describes Walnut Creek as a collection of modern classic townhomes.
The architectural concept is intended to combine contemporary residential design with a style that complements the surrounding neighbourhood.
The development’s location beside Sharon Creek and its established natural surroundings form part of the overall community concept.
Rather than relying only on building design, Walnut Creek’s smaller scale and relationship with the surrounding landscape contribute to its residential character.
With 43 planned townhomes, Walnut Creek will have a more limited residential footprint than many larger developments.
The project includes different townhome configurations, creating variety within the community while maintaining a consistent overall architectural direction.
The municipal architectural plans also show internal circulation areas, pedestrian connections, visitor parking and landscaped site elements.
Buyers should review the final approved site plan and builder materials for details about individual home locations, parking and outdoor spaces.
