As one of Canada’s fastest growing cities, Kitchener’s bursting with beautiful nature, well-paying tech jobs, and a lively nightlife. Home to the popular Conestoga College, Kitchener has a population of ​​242,368 (2017), which gives the feel of a small city with big opportunities. Houses for sale in Kitchener are more affordable than most of the Greater Toronto Area, but we saw them rise rapidly during the pandemic and more people moved away from Toronto.

 The city has over 264 acres of jungle, wetlands, and greenery and is home to several birds, fish, and wildlife. Victoria Park is a must-visit during summers as it is flocked by ducks and geese that you can feed. Kitchener is home to Google’s headquarters in Canada along with Shopify, Vidyard, and many tech start-ups. 

With events and festivals organised throughout the year, there’s always something to do during the weekends, with your family or a fun time with friends. The city hosts the biggest Oktoberfest outside of Germany, then there’s the Museum After Dark, and Centre in the Square, which hosts many live performances and musicals. 

The Kitchener-Waterloo Transit is quick and efficient and also offers free WiFi. Go Train and VIA Rail to take you to Downtown Toronto in just an hour.
