Location & Neighbourhood
The Flats at Rainbow Lake Condos is surrounded by stunning natural heritage conservation lands and is located by the rainbow trout-filled Rainbow Lake that provides opportunities for year-round, healthy outdoor activities, like hiking, jogging, fishing, canoeing, and ice skating. Yet, the development is still near Kitchener’s exciting tech centre, where innovation and job opportunities abound, providing residents with a balance of nature and urban life.
Doon South is primarily a car-dependent neighbourhood, although one local bus route along New Dundee Road makes it easy to get to Conestoga College directly with 30-minute service. This growing educational institution welcomes over 26,000 students annually to the Waterloo Region and other parts of Southern Ontario. It’s only a three-minute drive from the condo site to both Conestoga College’s Kitchener-Doon and Cambridge-Fountain Street campuses. Investors take note! This provides great opportunities for renting out units to college students.
Other excellent neighbourhood features include being minutes from the Hwy 401 ramp, which provides an effortless drive in and out of Kitchener. Motorists can reach Downtown Toronto in 75 minutes, London in 60 minutes, or Hamilton in 45 minutes.
Great supermarkets and independent grocery stores are nearby, including Zehrs, M&M Food Market, Food Basics, Dutchie’s, and The Indian Basket. And convenient restaurants in the area include fast food chains, pizza parlours, Indian cuisine, grill houses, and more.
Additionally, it’s a short drive to the city core, where locals flock to shop at Fairview Park, the largest mall in Kitchener. This popular shopping centre features over 125 stores and services, including Hudson’s Bay, Winners, Walmart, Cineplex VIP, Banana Republic, Linen Chest, and H&M. It also provides many job opportunities to residents.
Of course, one of the most unique features of living at The Flats at Rainbow Lake Condos is access to plenty of natural beauty. Nearby parks include Topper Woods Natural Area, Pinnacle Hill Natural Area, Blair Creek Natural Area, Tilt’s Bush, and Homer Watson Park along the Grand River. These vast, green spaces make it easy to indulge in outdoor recreation at any time of year. And excellent golf courses, like Whistle Bear Golf Club and Doon Valley Golf Course, both just minutes away, offer even more to do.
