The Neighbourhood
Kitchener's Most Prestigious Address
Westmount and Maple Hills occupy the southwest corner of Kitchener, and together they represent some of the most sought-after real estate in the entire Waterloo Region. Wide, winding streets canopied by mature trees, substantial lots, and homes that were built with intention — this is a neighbourhood where quality has always been the standard, not the exception. The housing stock ranges from grand mid-century custom builds to newer executive homes, with many properties sitting on large private lots that back onto green space or the Westmount Golf and Country Club. It's one of the few areas in Kitchener where you'll consistently find homes that compete with anything the region has to offer — architecturally, in terms of lot size, and in overall finishing. Buyers who come to Westmount and Maple Hills are typically move-up buyers making a long-term decision. This isn't a starter neighbourhood — it's the one people move to when they're ready to stop compromising. Demand stays strong because supply is limited and the area's character has remained remarkably consistent over decades of ownership.
Why Westmount
What Makes This Neighbourhood Stand Out
Executive Housing Stock
Custom builds, mid-century classics, and newer executive homes on large private lots. The scale and quality of housing here is consistently above anything else in the city — it shows in both the streetscape and the price points.
Westmount Golf & Country Club
One of the region's most established private golf clubs sits right within the neighbourhood. For many buyers this is a significant draw — and for those backing onto the course, it translates to exceptional lot privacy and green space.
Mature Streetscape
Decades of established landscaping, mature canopy trees, and wide winding streets give Westmount a visual character that simply can't be replicated in newer developments. It's one of those neighbourhoods that looks better in person than in photos.
Schools
Westmount PS and Maple Hills PS serve the area, with Bluevale Collegiate and Resurrection Catholic Secondary nearby for high school. The neighbourhood's school options are well-regarded and consistently draw families making long-term decisions.
The Boardwalk Access
KW's most complete retail and dining destination is minutes away — Costco, grocers, restaurants, fitness, and services all within easy reach. Westmount's location gives residents premium convenience without sacrificing the quiet of an established neighbourhood.
Long-Term Value
Westmount and Maple Hills have held their position at the top of the Kitchener market for decades. Limited supply, consistent demand from move-up buyers, and the neighbourhood's reputation make this one of the most reliable long-term holds in the region.
