The Village by the Arboretum (VBA) in Guelph is a 55+ active adult community just south of the University of Guelph occupying 112 acres. It’s a unique concept: buyers of homes in this area do not own the land it sits on- this is land leased to Reid’s Heritage Homes from the University of Guelph.
This is also not run by a condo corporation: owners at the Village by the Arboretum own the home as if it was freehold. Owners pay rent to Reid’s (not condo fees) who then pay the University.
Presently there are about 1250 Residents who call the Village by the Arboretum home.
According to the Village by the Arboretum website:
Located adjacent to the University’s 500-acre Arboretum and between the neighbourhoods of Old University and Kortright East, the VBA offers an active adult lifestyle within the Guelph city limits and near the cultural offerings of a large university and a vibrant urban community.
There is a large Recreation Centre with an indoor pool, auditorium and many activity rooms. Outdoors and within the Village by the Arboretum grounds are tennis courts, shuffleboard, bocce and horseshoe tossing facilities.
This community rarely has homes for sale and when they do come up, they go quick! If you’d like more information on homes in the VBA, get in touch with Beth and Ryan Waller, Guelph real estate agents.
