Glenridge: Waterloo’s most eclectic and genuinely mixed neighbourhood
Glenridge is one of Waterloo’s most eclectic and genuinely mixed neighbourhoods — in the best possible way. You’ll find established families alongside students and young professionals. There are also long-term residents who have no intention of leaving. Housing options are varied too. They range from mid-century detached homes with real character and mature streetscapes, to low-rise condos and newer builds.
Its central location between Uptown Waterloo and the universities makes it a smart buy whether you’re owner-occupying or investing. Moreover, the greenbelt that cuts through the neighbourhood adds a layer of natural amenity that most suburban areas simply can’t replicate. This makes Glenridge a standout choice for a wide range of buyers.
Schools
Families in Glenridge are well-served by local public schools. Most children attend Winston Churchill Public School or Lincoln Heights Public School at the elementary level. High school students typically head to Waterloo Collegiate Institute or Bluevale Collegiate Institute. In the Catholic system, St. Agnes Catholic Elementary feeds into St. David Catholic Secondary School.
