Creekside Trail

800 Myers Rd, Cambridge, ON N1R 5S2

Cambridge could easily pass for a European city, thanks to its scenic location and architecture. Located at the confluence of the Grand and Speed Rivers, Cambridge boasts picturesque bridges, 19th-century Gothic and Romanesque churches with tall spires, and a profusion of centuries-old stone buildings, both residential and commercial. The city’s looks have earned it a starring role in many film and television productions, serving as a backdrop in The Handmaid’s Tale, Murdoch Mysteries, and The Queen’s Gambit. The city is the most residential of the Tri-Cities, with significantly fewer tech employers than Kitchener and Waterloo. Unlike the neighboring cities, Cambridge has retained more of the region’s manufacturing past, with several major manufacturing plants in town, including two for Toyota. Most of the city’s housing stock tends to be older — some even reaching back to the 1800s — though the availability of newly built condos and townhouse is increasing as demand grows.
