Country Hills West: Settled suburban living in southwest Kitchener
Country Hills West is a comfortable, family-friendly southwest Kitchener neighbourhood. Most homes were built between the early 1980s and late 1990s. Wide streets, mature trees, and predominantly detached housing give the area a settled suburban feel. It appeals to families and first-time buyers who want solid schools, good parks, and everyday convenience — at a more accessible price point than newer west-end developments. Good expressway access makes it practical for commuters.
Schools
Public elementary students typically attend Glencairn Public School from JK through Grade 6, then Laurentian Senior Public School for Grades 7 and 8, before heading to Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute or Huron Heights Secondary School. Catholic elementary students attend Blessed Sacrament Catholic Elementary School, followed by St. Mary’s High School.
