I'm Irene Szabo and I moved to Guelph
                                               from Toronto in 1997 because I wanted to
                                               buy an affordable home and raise a family
                                               in a quieter city that was still within a short
                                               drive of all the fun and action of the Big
                                               City, of a major international airport, and
                                               of hundreds of other urban and rural
                                               communities for getaways. Not only were
                                               we able to buy an affordable house and
                                               provide wonderful green spaces, strollable
                                               neighbourhoods, and great schools for my
                  IR

                                               son to grow up in, I discovered plenty of
                                               amazing restaurants, shops, and

                                               entertaining things to do, built incredible
                                               friendships with warm and inviting
                                               neighbours, and bought investment

                                               I also came to love the city enough to want
                                               to sell real estate and help inhabitants and

Enough about me; you're reading this because you're asking, 'Why should I move to
Guelph?' Or perhaps you've chosen Guelph as a future home but need some help
figuring out which neighbourhood is right for you. Let's dig into a few reasons and
some information about what Guelph has to offer to its inhabitants.            © 2021 Irene Szabo
IR E S - Irene Szabo, Realtor
Guelph, known as the Royal City, is currently home to about 130,000 people
with a wide variety of personal, economic, and cultural amenities to service
the needs of every demographic, from suburban families to urban
professionals, from post-secondary students to seniors and downsizers. It's hard
for me to simplify all the reasons why I chose to call Guelph home, but here are
just a few of the many reasons given by friends, clients, and research sources:

   • Jobs: A great job market and one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada

   •   Safety: One of the safest cities in Canada with a consistently low crime rate
                 IR

   •   Environmental: Forward thinking and committed to the environment; one of the leading
       cities in Canada to care about the water, property developments, transportation, waste
                         EN

       management, and energy-efficient solutions. Politically, Guelph is home to the first
       Green Party MPP in Ontario.

   • Vibrant downtown: Ideal for a quiet night out, an upbeat evening, a quick cup of
                           E

     coffee, or great retail shopping

   •   Location and Commutability: Ideal for commuters, vacationers, and day-trippers,
                                           SZ

       Guelph is only 25 KM from Kitchener-Waterloo, 100 KM to Toronto, and 120 KM to
       Niagara Falls. Plus Guelph has GO Train, Via Rail, and Greyhound Bus service.
                                             AB

   •   First-class Education: Guelph has two top-end post-secondary education schools in the
       University of Guelph and Conestoga College as well as 4 school boards and 8 high
       schools.
                                                                O

   •   Business Development: Located at the centre of the hi-tech Innovation Corridor,
       between Toronto and the Waterloo Region, Guelph is consistently generating new
       businesses (locally and nationally) and developing upcoming talent.

   •   Highly Multicultural: Offering foods from around the world and many different
       nationalities as residents

   •   Lifestyle: Plenty of farm-to-table food options; quiet, clean, fresh air; slower pace than
       big cities with small town feeling

   • Parks, trails, and outdoor recreation: With more than 1000 hectares of parks, 70 KM of
     trails, and access to rivers and lakes, Guelph is a fitness and nature lovers' mecca.

                                                                                          © 2021 Irene Szabo

For each neighbourhood described in this guide, I've provided information within the
 general categories that can help you identify the things that are important to you in
 where you choose to live.

CATEGORIES
 PRICING: Shows the median sold-price of a home taken from all the homes sold in
 2020.

 WALKABILITY: This is a score out of 100 that indicates how easy you can walk to
 shops and services from a specific address in a neighbourhood. A low Walkability
 number {under 50) suggests you would need a car or form of motorized
 transportation to access stores, restaurants, and services. We used an address
                  IR

 approximately in the centre of a neighbourhood's boundaries, so any given home will
 have its own score. You can check the score for a specific address here:
                         EN

 www.walkscore.com/CA-ON/Guelph
 NO TE: All neighbourhoods in Guelph have sidewalks and plenty of parks and green
 spaces, so this score does not reAect a measure or the availability of parks and
                           E

 walking trails. However, if these are important to you, see the Parks and Trails
 category.
                                        SZ

 BIKEABILITY: Guelph is popular with cyclists and this score out of 100 "measures
 whether an area is good for biking based on bike lanes and trails, hills, road
                                          AB

 connectivity, and destinations." In other words, how well is a neighbourhood

 equipped for bicycle travel. We used an address approximately in the centre of a
 neighbourhood's boundaries, so any given home will have its own score. You can

 OTHER CATEGORIES: For the following categories, I've listed some of the notable
 businesses, services, and locations in each neighbourhood. This is not a complete list,
 by any means, and it will change over time. You can feel assured that there will be
 many excellent places in any category for you to discover in your neighbourhood:

  • Parks and Trails
  • Schools
  • Restaurants and Cafes
  • Shopping
  • Public Amenities and Services
  • Public Transportation
  • Arts, Entertainment, & Culture
                                                                                © 2021 Irene Szabo

RATINGS
  Within the Other Categories, I've provided Ratings that measure the number or
  quality of items in a category when compared to an ideal neighbourhood. A
  HIGH Rating shows that neighbourhood has a lot going on in that category.
  MEDIUM suggests that are few options and LOW indicated that are not many
  examples of that Category. I have used my knowledge and experience about
  neighbourhoods to measure these categories and I'll admit it's subjective and not
  a scientific method. Please use these as a guideline for choosing categories that
  would be most important to your decision-making.
  Keep in mind that a LOW rating in a Category might be perfect for residents
  because that Category is not important to them or would be a disadvantage to
  their chosen lifestyle.

T H E NEIGHBOURHOODS
                           E

  The Guelph and District Real Estate Board defines 18 distinct neighbourhoods but
  to make it easier for you to find the right neighbourhood for your lifestyle needs,
                                             SZ

  I've combined neighbourhoods with similar characteristics to create 10 general
  neighbourhoods. Based on sales in 2020, median home prices across all of
  Guelph range from $500,000 to $647,475, but all neighbourhoods include
                                               AB

  wonderful highlights that can make your new home both affordable and
  comfortable. You can drive anywhere in Guelph within 15-minutes, so it's easy to
  consider the entire city as your personal living space and playground.
                                                                O

  I can provide you with the most current information about any neighbourhood and
  will help you focus on those where you'll be most likely to be happy. The rest of
  this guide provides lots of detail about each neighbourhood but in the meantime,

It's very difficult for me to summarize the many reasons why Guelph is an ideal
place to live or why any neighbourhood would suit your needs. After you've
reviewed this guide, I'd love to chat with you, answer any questions, and find
out what your unique needs and wants are. Then maybe we can review some
homes currently for sale and even visit a few; I'd love to show off my city and
give you a tour of specific neighbourhoods that you think you'd like to call home.

Consider this your introduction to moving to Guelph and maybe after a year or
so, you'll want to help me explain to newbies what you love about living in
Guelph.
