Your country castle awaits in the Gates of Nobleton by Tribute Communities. This elegantly planned neighbourhood raises the classic charm that the area is known for to new luxurious levels.

These beautiful French Château, Tudor and Romanesque-style homes are built inline with the area’s idyllic atmosphere. Inside, it’s all high-class — 10-foot main floor ceilings, warm hardwood floors and granite countertops. You can discover the high standard of luxury at Gates of Nobleton by visiting Tribute’s designer show homes on the weekend.
