- Are you considering moving to Kitchener, Ontario? While the city may seem like a great
place to call home, there are some dark sides that you should be aware of before making
a final decision. In this RUclips video, we will explore 5 reasons to think twice before
moving to Kitchener, Ontario.
✅-Harsh Winter Weather: Kitchener experiences cold and snowy winters, which can be
a challenge for those who are not used to extreme weather conditions. This can make
it difficult to get around and can also lead to seasonal affective disorder for some
individuals.
✅- No Lake Waters: Kitchener is located in Southern Ontario, which is known for its many
lakes and waterways, the city itself does not have a lake. However, nearby cities such
as Cambridge and Waterloo do have access to lakes and rivers.
✅-Lack Of Public Transport: Kitchener, Ontario has a bus system operated by Grand River
Transit, but it can be limited and infrequent in some areas, particularly outside of peak
hours. This can make it challenging for individuals who rely on public transportation.
✅-Traffic Congestion: Kitchener is known for its heavy traffic congestion, particularly during
rush hour. This can make commuting to and from work a frustrating and time-consuming
experience.
✅-No Night Parties or Clubs: Kitchener, Ontario does have some nightlife options, but there
are fewer options than in larger cities. While there are bars and pubs, there are no nightclubs
in Kitchener, and the nightlife scene tends to be more low-key. This may be a downside for
individuals who are looking for a more vibrant and active nightlife experience.
Overall, while Kitchener may have its positive aspects, it's important to consider the
potential drawbacks before making a decision to move. Watch our video to learn more
about the dark side of Kitchener, Ontario.

Living there was ok around the outskirts. But kitchener downtown is a dump imo. Lacks character, and too many junkies, way too many
And that pretty much goes with any town. You will always have those pockets that you should try to avoid. Hence why, so crucial to work with a local professional who is well aware of those pockets.
Have been here since '85 ! I'm from a snowbelt town in Quebec.
I love snow ! I'm glad it's landlocked . No flooding concerns,
except Park St. !
Cool video some good insight
Glad you enjoyed it!
it sounds more like he dont want people moving there tryn to protect kitchner wow
Hey Darlene, I am sharing my perspective of some drawbacks Kitchener has just like any other town. I live here and me and my family love it. But I know some people may not want to settle with these cons in which case Kitchener won't be best suited for them.
@@livinginkitchenerontarioyou just need to find it
You forgot about Guelph lake and Elora. 😊
Certainly worth mentioning them @MrParker. Elora is my personal favorite. People living in Kitchener and Cambridge could definitely enjoy these spots with a short drive outside town. Even Kelso Lake in Milton would be less than an hour. Great spot to enjoy outdoors. Cheers👍
I don’t know I’m not poor I don’t take public transportation. Thank you guys for poor people.
It's a car friendly town. Although public transit is getting better. Still a lot of catch up to do with the student population growth.
Kitchener is a toxic craggy old dump. Is the torch still burning strong at Trashmore?
100% Agree same can be said of Windsor, do not move here stay in Toronto. We do not want you!
With soaring Real Estate prices over last few years, everyone is looking to find a balance between affordability and lifestyle. Windsor has certainly gained attention with those looking to escape unaffordable GTA home prices and rents.
Where did you get your Data that Kitchener Snows on Average more then 15 - 20% more than in Brampton? I'd love to see more about this. Because I think you are 100% right. I grew up in KW, and now live in Guelph but even in the East side of Guelph I know there is a lot less snow. Which I'm thankful.
I got it from Weather Network website. Yes, that's one part I don't like about Kitchener. The further east you go, better it gets. I am sure you are not missing that extra shoveling now that you left us. Cheers. 🙌
So kitchener doesn't flood since there is no lake access.
Not as much. We do have grand river though. Excessive rainwater is managed by the city through flood plains here.
Kitchener's core is actually built on a marsh. Flooding can happen, depending on spring rain and soil. 33 years here; I've seen it happen.
That being said, not very common.
7:20 A family that clubs together stays together
You bet! 👍
LMAO WE ARE COMING THERE BUDDIE! Stop being a gate keeper. Non of these reasons are a reason to stop anybody.
The intent is not to stop anyone from moving here anyway. These are the reasons that people should be aware of before making their move. Well, for some it might be compelling enough not to move while for others these things wont matter as much. We do appreciate you taking time to share your presepctive on our content nonetheless. If you need help with your move, you know where to find us. Thanks
Make sure you find a job. It is really hard to find anyone hiring.
Very true! Especially retail and entry level jobs are very hard to get by these days. We are seeing huge lineups of candidates outside retail stores these days for a handful of jobs.
Kitchener is a drop zone for newcomers to Canada, then add all the international and domestic students (Conestoga, Laurier, UW ) and they are all competing with the local youth who need entry level jobs as well, so yeah it's a bit of a quagmire. You are better off getting into a trade or some sort of specialized labor to make a decent wage around here.
My son coming This September 1st to Waterloo University. Can you pl suggest decent accommodation nearby University for him. Thanks
There are plenty of rentals available around University area. Make sure to check out online and on Facebook groups.
Good luck. With housing shortage some students are on the street or sharing beds.
Good luck but not likely
Tell me something I don’t know I’m born and raised their
Nowadays housing is a big problem
Kitchener is weird it’s like it has different towns and then nothing and then another little clump something like Mall or something it’s just weird and the people are not that friendly either I’m from Oakville Ontario and I live in Kitchener for six months and people did not like outsiders people that were not from Kitchener. They weren’t very nice to them.
Yeah, we do have some bad apples here for sure. The dynamics are evolving in Kitchener over past few years and locals were not prepared to deal with influx of people moving to this region from outside. Its unfortunate that you had such experience. We are blessed to have not experienced something similar yet at least.
Lived their way longer than you’ll ever
Everyone would love to know your thoughts about Living here since you have probably seen it go through a transformation.
Why?
Why not?
Kitchener was the place to live in the 90s early 2000s. Now not so much...
Anything specific that you like or dislike about it now?
@@livinginkitchenerontario Everything is so expensive now including the housing market. Population explosion from GTA and other places, more crime, homelessness etc
Isn't that the case pretty much everywhere you go these days? Suburban towns are still a little better off compared to major metros.
In your notes, you say "Additionally, there is no subway or light rail system in Kitchener." Uh, as you note in the actual video, yes, we have an LRT that admittedly focuses on the King St. core of the city.
Thanks for pointing it out Peter. It was an oversight from our end and has been addressed. Thanks again! 🙂
What stupid reasons are mentioned, kitchener is better place to live as compared to Mississauga when it comes to cost of living
And where have I stated otherwise in this or any other video? But it is no longer as affordable as it used to be. Have you seen home prices here? Even rentals are crazy. People are renting master bedroom in their homes for $1400 per month. There was a time when you could afford one bedroom apartment for that much less than 5 years ago. That's my point here. Also consider Affordability is a subjective matter, to someone making $200k a year, those prices may still be affordable but I am referring to the vast majority of people who do not fall in that range when it comes to afford housing. At the end of the day kitchener remains affordable than mississauga and mississauga remains affordable than Toronto and so on. But just being cheaper than mississauga does not make any town affordable Habib. Hope you get my point. Thanks
I'm a Canadian living in New Zealand at the moment, I thought I could return home since the house rental prices here are also pretty high, but reading and seeing what's going on in Canada, I'll better stay put. Wondering if and when the Government changes will it get better, or is the problem the refugees and immigrates that drive the house prices and rents up? I mean the Government needs to sort out his own people first before inviting immigrants into Canada. They should place a hold on this until more housing is build
@Ice Voss Rentals are just as expensive here in suburbs as well. Candidly speaking, I don't forsee government changing their stance on open immigration policy anytime soon with our aging population and labour shortages. What would help is taking out some red tape that could result in more housing supply to support the infrastructure needs resulting from the sudden population growth. Just my two cents.
My dad's house was worth around 100k some years ago, n now easily could be sold at half a mil
Prices have skyrockets across the region in last few years. I have buyers who bought in 2018 and now are sitting on hundreds of thousands in equity. It's pretty daunting to be in first time buyers shoes these days. I genuinely feel buyers pain working with them on a regular basis.
You are doing the work of a saint by trying to keep people from coming to Kitchener however it has already lost it's identity long long ago. It is out of control now compared to what it used to be, and most of that is because everyone from the GTA sold their higher market value homes came here and dominated our real estate market. People who were born and raised here are being pushed out. You are right, Kitchener isn't a great place to live anymore, but not so much for the reasons you have listed.
Just stop dude. 🤦♀️
Aha! Sure. Hmmm. but why exactly? 🤔
