Apartments for Rent in Downtown Guelph

A heritage building on a historic square, a bright renovated suite steps from Quebec Street's local shops, and an old-world walk-up near the river — three ways to live in the heart of Guelph.

Living in the Heart of Guelph

Guelph's downtown core is built around a walkable grid of 19th-century stone and brick storefronts, anchored by City Hall and the Basilica of Our Lady. The Sovereign — also known as the Petrie Kelly Building — has stood on Macdonell Street since 1882, a designated heritage building with 10-foot ceilings and hand-painted third-floor ceilings from its days as an Odd Fellows meeting hall.

From any of these three buildings you can walk to the Speed River, the River Run Centre, Guelph's train and bus terminal, and the small, independent shops that line Quebec Street and Wyndham Street. It's a genuinely car-optional part of the city, with the Guelph Farmers' Market and downtown's restaurant scene both within easy reach.
