Local Lifestyle

Waterloo East combines the area’s natural beauty with the modern convenience of living in an urban centre. This affluent area consists of many neighbourhoods with unique characteristics, providing residents a number of lifestyle options to choose from. For established, mature family neighbourhoods, buyers can explore the enclaves of Colonial Acres, Lincoln Village, Lincoln Heights, Eastbridge, Lexington, and Kiwanis Park. The Colonial Heights neighbourhood is also close to Uptown Waterloo, Conestoga Mall, and the Expressway, so it’s great for commuters and families with active lifestyles.

Lincoln Heights is a neighbourhood close to Uptown Waterloo and provides great access to an abundance of retailers and restaurants. The friendly atmosphere attracts many young families and young professionals to the area. For a laid-back lifestyle close to nature, the Eastbridge and Lexington neighbourhoods are close to the Grand River and the many trails that run along it. As these pockets are farther from the excitement of Uptown Waterloo, they’re perfect for families and residents who prefer a quieter atmosphere. Residents in Waterloo East are close to the City of Waterloo Museum and Conestoga Mall, as well as many popular restaurants, so there is always something entertaining to do in this area of the city.
