The Area
The neighbourhood
A varied corner of Waterloo
Lakeshore/Parkdale, Waterloo mixes single-family houses with half-duplexes, so buyers here are usually choosing between formats rather than settling for one. JULY is tracking 21 active listings. The median asking price is $674,900. It sits roughly 8% above Waterloo overall, so expect to pay a premium for the address. The housing is older, centring on about 1975, which usually means larger lots and mature trees.

The nearest rapid transit station is about 18 minutes on foot, with groceries about 9 minutes, the nearest park about 9 minutes, a school about 3 minutes.
