Laurel Creek

Laurel Creek is Mattamy Homes’ new community in north Waterloo, north of Conservation Drive and beside the Laurel Creek Conservation Area. Mattamy’s November 7, 2026 list for Phase 1 has 21 freehold townhomes and 32 lots for detached homes, 16 with single-car and 16 with double-car garages, all closing in 2028 (from March to November). The homes range from 1,342 to 2,712 sq ft, with three or four bedrooms.

Freehold townhomes

The townhomes come in six designs, from the three-bedroom Berlin (1,342 sq ft) to the four-bedroom Wellesley Corner (1,853 sq ft), including the Millbank End and Trussler End end units. Each townhome on Mattamy’s list already has its design and elevation; you choose the finishes at Mattamy’s Design Studio. Prices with HST start at $679,990 for a Berlin, or $623,000 after the 2026 HST relief for buyers who qualify, and the townhomes close from March to July 2028. They come with three stainless-steel appliances, an air-source heat pump for heating and cooling, quartz counters in the kitchen and primary ensuite, and stone plastic composite (SPC) flooring on the ground floor, the upstairs hall and the primary bedroom.

Single-car detached homes

On the 16 single-car lots you choose one of four designs (the Alderview, Dundee, Linwood or Oxford, 1,524 to 2,111 sq ft) and its elevation. Prices start at $796,990 with HST for an Alderview, and five of the lots have walk-out basements for a $22,500 premium.

Double-car detached homes

The 16 double-car lots take the Brooksdale, Hawkesville, Meadowridge, Thorndale and Weber, or the Douglas Corner and Elmbank Corner on the corner lots, from 2,003 to 2,712 sq ft. Prices start at $892,990 with HST for a Brooksdale, and every design is under $1 million before tax, so qualifying buyers may get the full HST relief on all of them (Mattamy shows the Brooksdale at $811,496). The double-car homes have an electric fireplace, as per plan.

The site plan

Mattamy’s November 2026 site map shows the townhomes (in orange) on Rushing River Street near Conservation Drive and the detached homes (grey for single-car, purple for double-car) in the north-east corner, next to an existing neighbourhood. In between are a park, a stormwater pond and a proposed future school, with a large natural heritage system to the west and protected countryside to the north. Its key map places the community north of Conservation Drive, between Erbsville Road and Beaver Creek Road.

Living in north Waterloo

Mattamy’s brochure puts Laurel Creek beside the Laurel Creek Conservation Area and its trails, with parks, trails and a future school planned in the community. The University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College’s Waterloo campus are close by, as are the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, Conestoga Mall, The Boardwalk and Uptown Waterloo. ION light rail and Grand River Transit buses stop at Conestoga Station, and the brochure’s map shows access to Highways 85 and 401, along with RIM Park, the Stork Family YMCA and the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Schools: Mattamy’s brochure lists Laurel Heights Secondary School, Abraham Erb Public School and St. Nicholas Catholic Elementary School nearby, plus a future elementary school block in the community. Check with the Waterloo Region District School Board and the Waterloo Catholic District School Board which schools serve each address.
