It offers a plethora of sources that make it a great place to live. Thanks to the number of jobs and activities in the area, it’s also understandably the heart of Kitchener-Waterloo.

Bordered by Ottawa street on the north and Block Line Road in the south, with Strasburg Road making up its western boundary and Homer Watson it’s eastern, this is one of the smaller neighbourhoods in the Twin Cities.
