Guelph is a historical city located in the southwestern part of Ontario. It’s also known as The Royal City, as it was named to honour the Welfs, the family name of the British Royal House of Hanover. Today, more than 165,500 people call Guelph home, and it's considered one of the best places to live in Canada due to the low crime rate, relatively pleasant climate, and high standard of living. When you add the clean environment and a low unemployment rate, it becomes clear why Guelph is an excellent option for families looking to settle somewhere new.

First home to the Attawandaron and Mississauga peoples, the land that would become Guelph was purchased by the British in 1784. The city of Guelph is considered to be one of the first planned towns in Canada when the area was chosen as the headquarters for the Canada Company, by its Superintendent John Galt.

The city was modeled after European city centres, complete with squares, broad main streets, and narrow side streets fanning out from a focal point on the Speed River. The Priory building was completed in 1828 to house up to 100 settlers moving to the area. Later that decade, Guelph opened its first court, jail, and hospital, all of which helped it become an official town in 1855. As time passed, it grew into an official city in 1879.

Today, Guelph is known for the University of Guelph, a public research university and one of Canada’s top universities. Seven colleges on three campuses offer programs in physical and life sciences, business, arts, social sciences, agricultural, and veterinary sciences. The veterinary medicine and agricultural science programs currently rank first in Canada.

Guelph has long been considered a safe city. In 2023, its crime severity index was 55.52, compared to the national average of 80.45. This index places Guelph at the eighth-lowest nationally and fourth-lowest in Ontario.

Thanks to the diversified economy, Guelph historically has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. The current unemployment rate is 3.8% as of August 2024, one of the lowest in the province. While it's not dependent on one industry, major industries include advanced manufacturing, agriculture and food innovation, environmental management, and technology. Major employers include Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, the University of Guelph, and Cov Dev International.

Located in the Eastern time zone in Southwestern Ontario, Guelph's weather varies throughout the year. Winters can be accompanied by snow and average low temperatures between -5C and -11C. During the Summer months, Guelph becomes humid and warm, with average high temperatures around or above 25C. The city typically enjoys 299 days of sunshine per year.

You may be wondering if it is expensive to live in Guelph. According to the Ontario Living Wage Network, the living wage in Guelph is $20.90. This living wage is lower than in other areas in Ontario. For example, the living wage in the Greater Toronto Area is $25.05, and in Ottawa it is $22.75. However, it is more expensive than Southwest and London-Elgin-Oxford, whose living wage is $18.65 and $18.85, respectively. Property taxes in Guelph are currently 1.32%, higher than the national average of 1.12%. That being said, the average household income in Guelph is higher than the provincial average.

All things considered, Guelph is an excellent option for Canadians looking to put down roots in a safe city with good job opportunities. In Guelph, you can easily blend small-town living with big-city amenities, especially considering the short commute to economic hubs like Toronto, Hamilton and Waterloo.

Neighbourhoods

The low crime rate, high quality of life, and amazing education opportunities, make Guelph a great choice. However, Guelph’s housing market has neighbourhoods that offer better amenities and living conditions than others. Depending on what you’re looking for, the top choices for residents are Downtown Guelph, Westminster Woods, Waverley, and Kortright Hills.

If you want to be close to entertainment and nightlife amenities, downtown Guelph is likely the best place. The Sleeman Centre, in downtown Guelph, is home to the city’s OHL team as well as concerts, tradeshows, public skating, and more. The River Run Centre, Guelph’s signature performing arts centre hosts musicals, plays, comedy acts, concerts, and family-friendly entertainment. Surrounded by a mixture of old and new architecture, shopping malls, and bilingual schools, this area is perfect for families wanting to be close to everything and who don’t mind the crowd and the buzz. Many homes for sale in downtown Guelph are condos, however, you can also find historic single-family homes.

If you're searching for a family-friendly neighbourhood in Guelph, consider Riverside Park. This neighbourhood is known for its large park, complete with an accessible playground, carousel, mini train, and beautiful gardens. It offers a mix of housing types, including condos and single-family homes. Riverside Park is also one of the most affordable neighbourhoods in Guelph.

Two Rivers, known to locals as The Ward, has been undergoing gentrification for several years and offers century-old detached homes and semi-detached homes, new condo developments, and factory conversions.

Kortright Hills and Kortright East may be an excellent choice for those looking for more green space and larger detached-family homes. However, they are two of the most expensive neighbourhoods in Guelph, where asking prices are typically over $1 million. The east part of Kortright consists mainly of single-family homes on spacious, mature lots, but you can also find new-construction condos. Kortright West, on the other hand, is less expensive and features single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and student rental properties. The peaceful atmosphere, affordable housing, community-oriented residents, and easy access to the highway and the rest of Guelph make Kortright Hills a desirable place for many to live.

For those who want a quieter and more peaceful area, far away from downtown Guelph, the Westminster Woods neighbourhood draws in hundreds of new residents thanks to the quiet suburban feel and superb, high-class educational options. The area has one of the most renowned public education schools in 2023 — Sir Isaac Brock andSt. Paul Catholic School — both of which offer top-of-class education for young children. The Pineridge and Westminster Woods neighborhoods offer multiple housing types, from detached single-family homes to townhomes and condos.

On the East side of Guelph, Waverley is a primarily residential neighbourhood with mostly older detached family homes. You will also find parks, playgrounds, and recreation facilities like tennis and basketball courts, plus public, Catholic and private schools.

Old University is a great option for those looking to live close to employment opportunities and public transportation. The majority of properties are a mixture of single-detached homes and townhouses. For employment, the University of Guelph and Service Ontario offer plenty of job opportunities in the area.
