The Stratford guide
Festival theatre, Avon River and heritage homes. Stratford sits in Southwestern Ontario and covers 6 communities — enough variety that two homes at the same price can feel like different towns.
Expect a mix of detached houses, semis and townhomes, with newer subdivisions on the edges. The older, more central pockets tend to hold value best.
Right now there are 466 homes for sale in Stratford around a median asking price of $549,000, plus 42 rentals near $2,000 a month. Every community below has its own guide with the homes available there today.
Good to know before you shortlist
- Newer subdivisions can still be finishing roads, parks and schools; older pockets have them already.
- Ask how long the trip to work really takes at 8am, not at noon.
- Check school catchments before you fall for a street — they don't always follow community boundaries.
Who Stratford suits
- Families who want a slower pace
- First-time buyers priced out of the bigger cities
- Retirees who want everything close by
Getting around
- Local transit routes
- VIA Rail service on the Windsor–Toronto corridor
- Highways 401, 402 and 403
