The boundary this page uses

The City of Guelph publishes this area as Grange Hill East. Grange Road is the feed's name for the City's Grange Hill East neighbourhood group.

Everything counted below — schools, licensed child care, parks, transit stops — is counted inside that boundary, so the figures describe Grange Hill East rather than a radius around a point.

How Grange Hill East compares with Guelph

13.6% of households in Grange Hill East rented their home at the 2021 Census, against 34.3% across Guelph. Very little of Grange Hill East is rented, so rental supply is thin and depends largely on individual owners rather than purpose-built buildings.

Both figures are the share of households that rent, from the 2021 Census. The Grange Hill East figure is aggregated from the dissemination areas inside the boundary; the Guelph figure is the city-wide count Statistics Canada publishes. Census figures describe 2021, and neighbourhoods change — treat them as context rather than as today’s market.

Renting in Grange Hill East

Guelph Transit runs a network built around a downtown hub, so cross-town trips often route through the centre. Guelph Central Station downtown carries both GO and VIA trains on the Kitchener corridor, and Highway 401 runs south of the city. Distances here are short, but a transfer can still dominate a journey — check the real trip at the time you would travel.

Before you sign

Walk the block at the hour you would actually come home. Check what is included in the rent, how utilities are billed, what parking costs, and where the nearest stop for the trips you make daily is. Ontario’s standard lease and the Residential Tenancies Act apply here as everywhere in the province — the renter guide covers what to check.
