Real Estate Near Dunnville
Dunnville was originally built as the entrance to the Welland “feeder” canal and the town once boasted several water-powered mills and a once-bustling canal port. The feeder canal closed in the late 1880s and the last mill was destroyed and replaced with a condominium complex about ten years ago.

There is an impassable dam at Dunnville which regulates the level of the Grand River at Port Maitland which, in the 19th century, also helped regulate the level of the Welland Canal (from 1829 until 1887 when the third canal began to intake its water directly from Lake Erie). Dunnville was incorporated as a village in 1860 and then as a town in 1900. In 1974, the town amalgamated with the townships of Dunn, Canborough, Moulton, and Sherbrooke when the Regional Municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk was formed. In 2001, Dunnville and all other municipalities within the region were dissolved and the region was divided into two single-tier municipalities with city status but called counties. What once was the incorporated town of Dunnville now consists of Wards 5 and 6 in Haldimand County.

See What A Happy Client Says About the Golfi Team on Google
While helping my son look for a home to buy for himself and his 3 daughters after selling his home, we had come to a point of hopelessness. With only two weeks til closing date we needed to find something soon and in his budget. With having a disabled child with limited mobility he needed certain requirements and to say it was a challenge to find is an understatement. We reached out to Samantha Stubbington from the Rob Golfi Team. I can not sing her praises any more than if she were an angel sent from the heavens. Honestly she went OVER AND BEYOND as an agent to find him a home that was EVERYTHING that his family needed. Not only did she get him one in the area he needed, in the time he required, she also helped him get all the requirements for his daughter to live comfortably in a safe environment. The peace of mind she provided while doing all this through our chaos will NEVER be forgotten. Samantha Stubbington is not only EXCELLENT at her job as an agent, she is a beautiful soul who deeply cares for her clients. I highly recommend if you want a calm, peaceful experience while house hunting to contact Samantha. You will definitely not be disappointed. Thank you so deeply again Samantha from the bottom of this Momma and Grandma’s heart.
