City - Waterloo

Waterloo feels like a city that runs at a fast pace but still makes time for easy mornings with a fresh cup of coffee and leafy strolls. Tucked in Ontario’s Tri-Cities region, it blends campus buzz, startup energy, and a surprisingly chill pace. Locals spend their weekends at Waterloo Park, where trails wrap around a small lake and playgrounds echo with laughter. Uptown’s walkable blocks are dotted with indie cafés, bookstores, and bakeries, while the Ion light rail makes it easy to hop between errands and adventures without needing a car.

You will find a range of apartment communities that suit every pace—whether it’s a modern mid-rise near University Avenue, a townhouse along a quiet cul-de-sac, or a bright loft just steps from shopping. Many communities are designed with walkability and access in mind, offering quick routes to dining spots, greenspaces, and daily necessities.
