The Neighbourhood

An Established Neighbourhood Next to Downtown

East Ward sits just east of downtown Kitchener, around the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium on East Avenue, near the Ottawa Street interchange on the Conestoga Parkway. Realtors and MLS call it East Ward, and the City calls the neighbourhood Auditorium, so you'll see both names on listings. The Aud, as locals call it, opened in 1951 and is home to the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League. The complex also has two smaller community arenas, a baseball park, and a skatepark, so the neighbourhood has more going on than most residential areas. Downtown Kitchener and the Kitchener Market are close, and the expressway and Highways 7/8 and 401 are easy to reach. Most of the housing is detached, and most of it was built before the 1960s. Three- and four-bedroom homes are the most common, with some condos and small apartment buildings in the mix. Sheppard Public School, Courtland Avenue Public School, and St. Anne Catholic Elementary School serve the area, and you can see our Schools Guide to confirm schools for a specific address.

  
Why East WardWhat Makes This Neighbourhood Stand Out
        The Aud
        The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium opened in 1951 and is home to the Kitchener Rangers. Game nights and concerts are part of the neighbourhood's rhythm.
      
        A Complex Full of Activity
        The Aud complex also has two community arenas, Jack Couch Park baseball, and a skatepark, which makes it a gathering place for families as well as hockey fans.
      
        Established Homes
        Mostly detached homes, most built before the 1960s, often with three or four bedrooms. It's a good fit for buyers who want a character home close to downtown.
      
        Close to Downtown
        Downtown Kitchener and the Kitchener Market are a short trip away, and some homes are only a few hundred metres from the Kitchener Market ION station.
      
        Easy Commuting
        The Conestoga Parkway, Highway 7/8, and the 401 are close, and the ION stations at Borden, Frederick, and Kitchener Market serve the surrounding streets.
      
        Local Schools
        Sheppard Public School, Courtland Avenue Public School, and St. Anne Catholic Elementary School are nearby. Boundaries vary by street, so confirm for a specific address.
