Lincoln Heights: Established, walkable, and genuinely livable in east Waterloo
Lincoln Heights ranks among east Waterloo’s most established and genuinely livable neighbourhoods. Its roots go back to the 1950s. Character homes line well-treed lots throughout. Think wartime bungalows and well-maintained older two-storeys. The community carries a relaxed, unpretentious feel that newer subdivisions rarely match.
Lincoln Heights draws retirees, young families, and everyone in between. Central location, walkability, and the neighbourhood’s own community centre are the main draws. Residents can walk to Uptown Waterloo. The expressway is fast from here too.
Schools
Lincoln Heights Public School sits within the neighbourhood and serves students from JK through Grade 8. It offers a French immersion program. High school students attend Bluevale Collegiate Institute. Catholic elementary students attend St. Agnes Catholic Elementary School, then continue to St. David Catholic Secondary School.
School catchment for any address being considered should be confirmed directly with the applicable school boards. See our school finder for more local school information in Lincoln Heights Waterloo.
