This bright upper-level home at 84 Keating St offers a functional 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom layout designed specifically for families and commuters seeking high-utility living. A primary feature of this property is its premium lot, which backs directly onto Lee Park with no rear neighbour's, providing exceptional privacy and a quiet atmosphere. For those with children, the home is within short walking distance to William C. Winegard Public School, making the daily routine efficient and stress-free.Logistics are simplified by the property's proximity to major transit and shopping hubs. Residents are just a three-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, with quick access to the University of Guelph and Guelph GO Transit for regional travel. Essential shopping and bulk supplies are minutes away, including Walmart, Costco, and various major grocery stores. The lease includes two dedicated parking spots-one in the garage and one on the driveway-ensuring reliable vehicle storage and access. Please note that this rental is for the upper level only, as the basement is a separate, already tenanted unit with its own side entrance.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,950/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.
Market Position
At 36 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Guelph are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
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.
Bathroom Count Matters
With 3 bathrooms, morning routines are much smoother. Multiple bathrooms significantly improve daily livability and are a major selling point for resale. Buyers consistently pay more for adequate bathroom counts - this is a strong feature.
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.
