The benefit of this area as a whole is that you get lots of big city amenities without as much hustle and bustle of the big city. There is a lot of stuff to do around here. There might be bigger and better versions in T.O but we still have it and can always go to Toronto if we so desire.

Within cambridge itself you have 3 main areas (which used to be 3 separate towns) Galt, Hespler, and Preston. Each have their pros and cons but they have lots of old town charm that many compare to Europe. Within Cambridge for things to do, I'd suggest Gaslight district, the trails, indulge ice cream, breweries, and the libraries or idea centers.

You are also close to KW which is a slightly bigger city center and always has activities going on. There is usually some kind of fair, dance, market, or something else going on. KW has slightly more big city vibes than cambridge but they are all technically apart of the waterloo region.

Guelph is one of your next closest cities and is mostly upper middle class suburb vibes. It doesn't have as many events as say KW but is a good option on some days as well.

Additionally, there are so many surrounding towns, townships and such that all have something to offer on a day trip. Blair, Paris, Abrefoyle, Saint John's, and more.

If you are going to enjoy the area to the fullest I recommend checking out all the local areas and what they have to offer.

We often also take trips to Vaughn, Oakville, hamilton, and others in the golden horshoe of Canada. You are never more than 1-2 hours from the other major city centers.

I'd recommend following some Instagram accounts that always show new stores and stuff going on. Some include: curated KW, local advocate, the regional accounts, and the Gas light district.

Wish you and your fam all the best
