Upper Beechwood: Executive homes and quiet crescents
Upper Beechwood is the newest chapter of the Beechwood story. It was developed primarily through the 80s and 90s with a more executive lean. Homes here tend to be larger, and layouts are more contemporary. Moreover, you’ll find streets like Carrington Place and Bushwood Court that rank among some of the most prestigious addresses in all of Waterloo. It’s no surprise Upper Beechwood stands out for its upscale feel.
The neighbourhood sits tucked above Old Beechwood on quieter crescents, giving it a sense of privacy and calm. This calm is hard to come by this close to the city’s core. Two community associations — each operate their own pool and tennis courts. Both associations run year-round events that keep the community genuinely connected. Regency Park adds further outdoor amenities with walking trails, a playground, and a baseball diamond. Residents tend to move in and stay for the long haul. Notably, Upper Beechwood’s reputation contributes to the quality of life on offer here.
Schools
Upper Beechwood follows a strong public school pathway, with most children attending Mary Johnston Public School for JK through Grade 6. This school includes a French immersion stream. Students then move to Centennial Public School for Grades 7 and 8 before attending Laurel Heights Secondary School for high school. In the Catholic system, Holy Rosary Catholic School serves elementary students. Families in Upper Beechwood are zoned for Resurrection Catholic Secondary School as the high school destination.
