What Does Your Condo Say About Your Personality?

The Waterloo Region has some of the most iconic developments in Southern Ontario, each with their unique brand and lifestyle. The residents of these condos are often drawn to the location, amenities, and feel of the condo.

Have you ever wondered what your condo says about you? We took a look at six developments in the region to see what we could determine about the personalities that live there.

The Gaslight Condominiums

Cambridge, ON

You have your finger on the pulse of what’s trending. Anyone who lives at The Gaslight feels immediately cooler than their Preston and Hespeler neighbours because they live in the heart of the most entertaining district in the city. When you wake up in the morning, you look out at the courtyard and vaguely recall that there were thousands of people rocking out under your balcony last night — and you’re happy to do it again next weekend.

Midtown Lofts

Kitchener, ON

You are the epitome of business in the front, party in the back (or vice versa). If growing a mullet was office-appropriate, you’d absolutely do it. Instead, you are happy to live in the best of both worlds: a quiet residential street with the finest neighbours that’s just a short walk to Downtown Kitchener. Residents at Midtown Lofts appreciate the clean lines and modern design of their units because they look good in the background of a Zoom call or as the backdrop to a Saturday night dance party.

Station Park

Kitchener, ON

You’re what people call a ‘big picture’ type of person. You chose the best community not for what it is now — a luxurious and convenient development across the street from Google’s Canadian headquarters — but for what it’s going to become: the hub of the city on the doorstep of Downtown Kitchener. With future amenities like a 20,000 sq. ft elevated platform with hot tubs, a running track, and lounge areas, you’re just biding the time until you’re the most popular person in your friend group.

Sage Condos

Waterloo, ON

You are a student. Honestly, we have no idea what’s going on in your lives but we’ll probably see it on your Snap story later.

OTIS in the Park

Kitchener, ON

You are a discerning connoisseur of the most luxurious experiences in life. You have at least one bottle of wine “from the early 21st century” on your wine rack and you’re generously willing to pop a bottle anytime you have friends over. And with a condo location that overlooks the beautiful Victoria Park/Roos Island Park, your friends are over all the time. When you want to wind down, you take a stroll through the park, and more often than not, end up at The Boathouse in its completely renovated glory.

Caroline Street Private Residences

Waterloo, ON

You were the OG trendsetter. You were hip before it was cool. You see teens in ‘90s clothes and you cringe because you did it first — and did it better. When you go to a gallery, the art looks at you. Like the Caroline Street condos, you are classy and modern. On the weekends, you are grabbing a café latte at The Bauer Kitchen on the way to your Uptown Waterloo yoga class before meeting your friends for a patio cocktail. You check your watch. Oops! It’s time to get back home and take your terrier for a walk along the beautiful paths around the development.

If you don’t exactly match these descriptors, don’t worry. The condos in the Waterloo Region are home to a diverse group of young folks, retirees, families, and everyone in between. It’s why we love the condo scene in Kitchener-Waterloo and beyond. If you’re looking to buy, sell, or lease your condo, give us a call.
