Our Perspective
How we see Hygate Active Senior Living
Hygate Active Senior Living brings a welcome new twist to senior living in Kitchener-Waterloo, with a focus on resort-style living, right in the heart of KW. Here, you’ll find a wealth of daily activities and amenities right outside your door, including fitness classes, a bistro, chef-prepared meals, an in-house movie theatre and more. Some are going to call this a cruise ship on land.
We love that this state-of-the-art luxury-style senior apartment living is coming to KW. We’ve seen many similar, newer communities in major centres like Toronto and Vancouver, and Waterloo is ready for this. Hygate is located in an excellent area of the city, just blocks away from the region’s two world-class universities, as well as Conestoga Mall. Of course, you’re also close to St. Jacobs and Elora, and an hour out of the GTA.
This is the ideal destination for older singles or couples who want to cash in the equity of their family home and live a lifestyle ideally suited to someone their age. Similar lifestyle communities can be found in the countryside outside of town, but this is an ideal location for seniors who want to be in the heart of the action. Suites are ideally sized for seniors, with some as large as two bedrooms.
