Sandhills Residential Community offers secure, affordable independent living for active adults aged 55 and older in the heart of downtown Kitchener. Operated as a not-for-profit corporation, Sandhills uses a life lease housing model that provides an alternative to traditional home ownership or renting.

- Lower initial cost compared to comparable condominium units
- Reasonable monthly fees covering property taxes, and maintenance
- Rights to equity based on market value upon resale
- No land transfer tax on sales of the life lease
- Fewer maintenance responsibilities, allowing you to enjoy a worry-free lifestyle
