Country Hills: Community-minded south Kitchener neighbourhood with broad housing choice
Country Hills is a well-established south Kitchener family neighbourhood with a tight-knit character. Two distinct sections make up the area. The western portion features mature 1970s-era homes on generous lots. The eastern section has seen significant new construction in recent years. Both sides share strong community infrastructure, volunteer traditions, and a caring spirit. A community garden, neighbourhood events, and a Community Cupboard for those in need reflect the area’s values. The Country Hills Community Centre connects to Lions Park and includes an outdoor skating rink each winter.
Schools
Public elementary students attend Country Hills Public School from JK through Grade 6. Grade 7 and 8 students move to Laurentian Senior Public School, then to Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute. Catholic elementary students attend Our Lady of Grace Catholic Elementary School, then St. Mary’s High School.
