JEWEL OF THE CITY The Isabella Residences will overlook Waterloo Park, which has been an essential part of the fabric of the community, an area rich in mercantile trade from Europe. Affectionately known as the Jewel of the City, the park and its centerpiece, Silver Lake, have become synonymous with Uptown Waterloo. The Isabella will be nestled away on Dorset Street, within the historic region shared by the neighbourhoods between Albert, Princess, King & Dupont Streets. With a bustling mercantile history, centred around the origins of the once archetypal Victorian city hall, this area became the civic district for the Town of Waterloo. With views of Waterloo Park from your suite, walks will take you back in time, passing the Carnegie library, while winding your way to the restaurants, boutiques and shops of Uptown Waterloo.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD · Central

Life around The Isabella.

Explore the setting, everyday essentials and surrounding community before choosing your next home.

Central is a neighbourhood within Waterloo, Ontario, which is located in the Kitchener - Cambridge - Waterloo metropolitan area.

Provider geography: Central (neighbourhood) · Waterloo (city) · N2L (postal code) · Waterloo Region (regional municipality) · Kitchener - Cambridge - Waterloo (metropolitan area)

A SENSE OF PLACE

The neighbourhood, in perspective.

Getting around

Central affords homeowners several alternative modes of transportation. Thanks to a multitude of nearby rapid transit stations with access to the ION Light Rail, and around 10 nearby bus lines, Central is reasonably transit friendly. Traveling by foot is also rather practical for house buyers in this area; meeting daily needs is convenient without a vehicle, and a good number of businesses of different types can be found as well. A good number of people in the area use their bicycle because the bicycling network is extensive.

Everyday essentials

It is straightforward to reach both a general and a specialty grocery store by foot from any location in Central. Likewise, thanks to 100-odd restaurants and cafes in this neighbourhood, there is usually a place to get a meal or beverage just around the corner, for example on King Street. It is also very easy to reach a number of clothing stores without the use of a car. As far as education is concerned, parents and their kids will value the proximity to daycares and schools, which are within walking distance from most, if not all, homes for sale in Central.

Local character

Central has a character that caters to a fairly diverse group of people. Even though this area is not known for its lively atmosphere, its main streets are still quite energetic, and finding one of the approximately 10 nightlife venues is very easy because they are generally situated in very convenient locations. King Street in particular offers a great variety of places to go out at night. Most areas in Central are reasonably quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour, although there are still several noisier sections, especially near the airport (Kitchener-Waterloo (Grand River Hospital) Heliport) or the railway line. It is easy to access green spaces in the neighbourhood since there are over 50 of them close by for residents to explore.

Surrounding homes

Roughly two thirds of the units in the neighbourhood are occupied by renters whereas owners occupy the remainder. About half of dwellings are large apartment buildings, making it easy to find apartments in this area, while small apartment buildings and single detached homes are the main alternatives in the housing stock. The buildings in this part of the city are relatively new, since around 40% of its dwellings were constructed following the year 2000, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1960s. This area has a good choice of housing size options, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms.
