South End, Guelph real estate — prices, trends & homes for sale
As of July 2026, Guelph's South End is the city's growth engine: subdivisions built from the 1990s through the 2020s along the Clair Road and Gordon Street corridors, with big-box retail, newer schools, and the shortest drive in Guelph to Highway 401. It is where most of the city's newer detached and townhouse inventory sits. Market statistics for this page are pending verified board data.

The housing stock
The South End is Guelph's newest large district, built out in waves from the early 1990s onward across the neighbourhoods south of Stone Road: Kortright Hills and Hanlon Creek to the west, Rickson Ridge, Clairfields, Westminster Woods, and the still-building blocks toward Maltby Road. Gordon Street is the north-south spine, running from the University of Guelph down to Clair Road; the Gordon-Clair intersection is the district's commercial centre, with grocery anchors, big-box plazas, and an expanding band of mid-rise apartments and stacked towns. The housing follows the eras cleanly. Early-1990s pockets carry larger-lot two-storeys and links; 2000s subdivisions like Westminster Woods run to two-storey detached homes and freehold towns on compact lots with double garages; the 2010s and 2020s added denser forms — back-to-back towns, condo towns, and mid-rise buildings along Gordon and Clair — as Guelph's intensification targets pushed density southward. Streets are curvilinear with crescents and courts, sidewalks and stormwater ponds throughout, and the tree canopy is young but establishing. The practical draws are consistent: newer construction with fewer maintenance surprises, school and park networks planned alongside the housing, and Highway 401 access via the Hanlon Expressway or Gordon Street, which makes the South End the default choice for Guelph buyers commuting toward Milton, Mississauga, or Cambridge.

South End questions
What counts as the South End?
Broadly, the neighbourhoods south of Stone Road built from the 1990s onward: Kortright Hills, Hanlon Creek, Rickson Ridge, Clairfields, Westminster Woods, and the newer phases toward Maltby Road. The Gordon Street and Clair Road corridors are the district's commercial and transit spine.
How does the South End differ from Guelph's older neighbourhoods?
Age and form. Instead of century homes on grid streets, the South End is planned subdivisions: newer detached houses, freehold and condo townhouses, and a growing number of mid-rise apartments. Buyers trade walkable-to-downtown character for newer construction, garages, and highway access.
Is it a good base for 401 commuters?
It is the most practical part of Guelph for them. The Hanlon Expressway and Gordon Street both reach Highway 401 quickly from the Clair Road area, which is a large part of why the district grew when it did. GO train service requires getting to Guelph Central Station downtown.
Is the South End still building?
Yes. Lands toward Maltby Road and along the Gordon and Clair corridors continue to develop, with recent phases skewing to denser forms — townhouses and mid-rise condos — in line with Guelph's intensification planning. New-build buyers should note that Ontario new homes carry Tarion warranty coverage and HST treatment differs from resale.
