Amenities

There is a wide selection of grocery options available in the area. Lakeside is well-served by both Catholic and public school boards, but it’s important to match schools with the specific property address. The neighbourhood features a range of architectural styles from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Older homes are typically two-story houses with three or four bedrooms. South of the hospital, the post-war era is reflected in modest bungalows and one-and-a-half-story homes. The newer properties in Lakeside mostly consist of brick bungalows, common throughout Kitchener-Waterloo.
