Room for Rent in owner-occupied condo in KW, near DTK & Mac WRC

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Rates from CAD $900 | Monthly

Apartment or Condo | Private Space
Available Dates:
From September 1, 2026

Description

A furnished bedroom close to McMaster Waterloo Regional Campus and University of Waterloo Health Sciences Campus in Downtown Kitchener. Perfect for any KW graduate students, visiting researchers and faculty, and students on co-ops, internships, placements, clinical rotations, or residencies; mature undergrads also welcome. Room includes full-size bed, desk, folding chair, rug, book shelf, large closet with shelves and drawers. Bedding and towels available for use. We share the 4-pc bathroom, eat-in and well-equipped kitchen, open concept living-dining room, and long balcony. In-suite 2-in-1 washer/dryer (and laundry room in building). I have an AppleTV on my TV and High Speed Bell Fibe internet. My condo building is old, but I chose it for the location — right on the Iron Horse Trail, at the edge of Victoria/Willow River Park; 5-10 min walking distance to bakery, grocery, drugstore, take out etc.; 20-30 min walk to Downtown Kitchener/Google/VIA&GO Station/ION LRT; 8 min walk to WRNH@Queen (St. Mary's Hospital), 3o min walk to WRHN@Midtown (Grand River Hospital); short bus ride to Uptown Waterloo. Prefer a 4-month stay to coincide with the three-term system in KW, but I'm open to shorter stays and multiple-term commitments -- I'm not looking for a long-term, permanent roommate. Parking is available to rent from the building management company for $100/month. Parking garage has free bike racks. No pets. No smoking allowed in the unit or on the balcony. While my goal is to help with mortgage costs, I'm also keen meet new people and help them get to know my new hometown. I used to travel the world as a digital nomad, but my current work at the college doesn't allow for extended travel—so, I'd also love to welcome travellers and nomads for long stays. I work from home most days. I keep my place tidy and fairly clean. I'm home most evenings and usually go to bed early. I love to cook, watch TV and movies, read, walk to the farmer's market, swim at the YMCA. I also visit friends and family in Toronto often and like to go on day trips on the weekend. Travel is my favourite hobby -- it's just on hiatus at the moment.
