The Galt Area
West Galt, Cambridge is a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of surrounding nature including lakes, forests, and wetlands. These natural habitats contribute to the diverse wildlife that can be spotted in common backyards.
Though these wild areas exist, it does not mean that the area is stuck in the middle of nowhere. It is close enough to Cambridge city center that shopping, eating out, going to the mechanic shop, banking, and various other activities are still within convenient reach.
There is some investment potential for these homes. For example, though it is not within walking distance, the sub-10-minute drive/20-minute walk to Conestoga College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and Hi-Mark college make them good for student housing. Renting these properties out can be a good investment opportunity.
There are many attractions in the area that range from special-interest to family-friendly. Some of these attractions include:

Shopping

Still, the closest ones to this property are Highland Public School, St. Andrew’s Senior Public School, Southwood Secondary School, Central Public school, St. Gregory Catholic Elementary School, and countless other schools of varying academic levels.
