The East end of Guelph (better known as Grange Road) is composed of two distinct sections: 1) The west side closest to Victoria Road where homes were built from the 50s-80s and resemble many of those found in the West and north end of Guelph; and 2) East of Starwood Drive which is one of Guelph’s newest neighbourhoods. The area has been developed over the past few years and new homes are continuously being built in the area. Right now, affordability is definitely the East end’s greatest asset. People are flocking to to the area for the abundance of cheap real estate despite the community itself lacking in basic amenities. At the time of writing, Grange Road still didn’t have its own grocery store. Instead, residents have to use plethora of big box stores in Guelph’s north end. While not far away, it’s still certainly inconvenient. Until the East end does more than simply build houses on available land, the community will not be on of Guelph’s most desirable. However, if planned correctly, the East end could easily rival the West end in the years to come as it shares many of the same overall characteristics.
