Fiddlesticks Real Estate
Upper-middle-class suburban living at its best — family-friendly streets, green space, top schools, and some of the most sought-after detached homes in Cambridge.
Neighbourhood Overview
Cambridge's most family-friendly neighbourhood.
Fiddlesticks is the kind of neighbourhood that sells itself the moment you drive through it. Immaculate front lawns, wide streets, established trees, and a quiet suburban energy that families consistently gravitate toward. Named after a proposed country club that never came to be, the area has built an identity all its own — one rooted in community, safety, and pride of ownership. Situated between Franklin Boulevard and Townline Road, from Pinebush down to Clyde Street, Fiddlesticks encompasses the popular Clemens Mills and Shades Mills subdivisions. It's a strictly owner-occupied neighbourhood for the most part — the kind of place where people put down roots and stay. Average listings hover around $1,040,000 for detached homes, with townhomes offering more accessible entry points for buyers looking to get into the area. Lions Can-Amera Park, the Saginaw Golf Club, and Shades Mills Conservation Area are all within easy reach. For commuters, direct 401 access at Townline Road makes this one of the most strategically located neighbourhoods in Cambridge — without any of the noise or traffic that comes with being too close to a major highway.
Why Fiddlesticks

Shades Mills Conservation
A stunning conservation area with trails, a reservoir, and natural green space right on the neighbourhood's doorstep — rare in a suburban setting this close to Cambridge's core.

Two nine-hole courses in a scenic country setting in the middle of the city — offering members and pay-to-play golfers an accessible, well-kept course minutes from home.

Four elementary schools within the neighbourhood — two public, two Catholic — plus secondary school options in nearby Galt and Hespeler. Strong academic community throughout.
