Coniston is a small community at Sudbury's eastern edge, in the former town of Nickel Centre. It was built as a company town around the Mond Nickel smelter in 1913 and laid out on a proper street grid, which is why its older streets feel planned rather than pieced together. Housing is mostly single-family, from cottage-style bungalows to two-storey homes, and prices tend to offer good value compared with the city core. Coniston has its own library branch, arena, curling club and golf course.
What kinds of homes are for sale in Coniston?

Where is Coniston and what is its history?
Coniston sits east of Sudbury along the Highway 17 corridor, which makes it convenient for anyone commuting east or into the city.
The Mond Nickel Company moved its smelter operations to Coniston in 1913, choosing the site for its rail connections, and built a planned company town with a street grid, sidewalks and a water system. Inco took over in 1928 and ran the smelter until it closed in 1972. The plant was demolished in 1976. The Twin Stacks Golf Club name is a nod to the smelter stacks that once defined the skyline.
Coniston was its own incorporated town from 1934 until regional government arrived. Its final mayor, Mike Solski, is commemorated in the name of the local public library branch. The community also has deep hockey roots, including Hall of Famer Toe Blake, who grew up here.
What is there to do in Coniston?
For a community of its size, Coniston is well served. There is a community park with play equipment, tennis courts and a ball hockey court, plus an arena and a curling club. Twin Stacks Golf Club is in the community, and the Greater Sudbury Public Library's Coniston branch, named for Mike Solski, serves the east end.
Coniston also has a handful of restaurants and convenience stores, though most shopping happens in New Sudbury or downtown.
What do most Coniston buyers miss?
- The housing stock is old. Many homes date from the company-town era. Budget for inspection of wiring, insulation, windows and heating.
- Industrial history means doing your homework. Ask about past land use and any environmental history for the specific property, especially on lots near the old smelter site.
- Value here is real, but so is the commute. Factor in daily driving costs when you compare Coniston prices with in-city options.
- Local amenities are limited. Plan on driving to New Sudbury for groceries and major shopping.
