Definitely a small town feel here, in many ways it's a typical Canadian town, though with 25,000 people it's quite a large town. Dundas still has a strong identity too, even the people in newer subdivisions surrounding the old town feel a part of Dundas. This seems especially true of the kids who grow up here, mainly because Dundas has its own minor sports teams and schools.
A lot of people affiliated with McMaster University live in Dundas (McMaster is right on the Hamilton/Dundas border). There is also an art school and a very large arts community here, especially potters. Overall there is quite a mix of people here, plenty of blue collar neighbourhoods and retirees living in condos.
In all, it's a very quiet and laid back place to live with a thriving downtown, great natural surroundings and all the conveniences of a city. I think of it as the best of both worlds.

If only I could afford a house in Dundas....
I live in a 3 storey walkup that is not photo-worthy but at least I still get to walk through these streets daily and enjoy the beauty of Dundas.
