CLEAN, QUIET TOWNHOME IN GUELPH'S PEACEFUL EAST END. If you're looking for a spacious 1195 sq ft home, and you prefer quiet, suburban living away from the madness of the city, imagine yourself in this stacked, semi-detached, condominium townhouse. There's plenty of space on the main floor that sweeps from the sun-filled living room through the very large, modern, eat-in kitchen and ends with a breath of fresh air on the back veranda. Upstairs, you have a bright, wonderful primary bedroom with ensuite access to the 4-piece bathroom, plus 2 more bedrooms, one of which is the perfect size for a home office. There are plenty of closets and storage space throughout, and the laundry is conveniently on the second floor. Speaking of convenience, you won't have to worry about lawn or snow maintenance because it's managed by the condominium. Your backyard is basically Peter Misersky Park with sports fields, playground, and a fenced, off-leash dog area. The condominium also offers a community garden for those with a green thumb. If you want more outdoor recreation, you're a few blocks from the Pollinator Park and near Guelph Lake Conservation Area offers trails, boating, camping, swimming, and plenty of natural fun. For more recreation, you're within walking distance of Victor Davis Recreation Centre. All of this is nestled in a quiet nook in Guelph's East End and a short drive to schools, churches, shops, and restaurants. Don't wait for the university rush in September; rent now and start living with peace and ease.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,700/mo, this is priced below the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Guelph. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Negotiation Opportunity
At 78 days on site, this property has exceeded the typical selling timeline for Guelph. This creates leverage for buyers. The seller may be motivated by carrying costs, life circumstances, or previous deals falling through. I'd recommend a strategic offer below asking with terms that favour you.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
Let's Walk Through It Together
Photos can't tell you about traffic noise, natural light at different times of day, or how well the landlord maintains the property. When we view it together, I'll assess the condition of appliances, HVAC, and finishes — and flag anything that might become a headache. I'll also help you understand the lease terms before you sign anything.
