WHERE ARTISTRY AND CONVENIENCE CONNECT
Welcome to Avon Park by Cachet, a distinguished community that offers your family the opportunity to live a vibrant and connected lifestyle in a city renowned for its rich culture and storybook loveliness. While perhaps best known for its annual Theatre Festival, Stratford is quickly becoming one of the most desirable places to live in Ontario, attracting young families in search of a city with rich culture, local charm, economic and education opportunities, and diverse shopping and dining options.
Feast Your Eyes on This
When it comes to hospitality and culinary aplomb, Stratford is a hard act to follow. With some of South Ontario’s best farms, micro-breweries, cheesemakers and more on it’s doorstep, Stratford is home to a plethora of exciting and diverse taste offerings. Local favourite spots include The Relic Lobby Bar, Pazzo Pizzeria, Braai House, Edison’s Cafe Bar, The Prune and Bijou.
Shop at Local Gems
Experience what it’s like to live in a city where there’s excitement in finding that hidden gem. In Stratford, independent shops — each with their own diverse and stylish offerings — thrive.
Find eclectic goods at Got It Made or Distill Gallery; browse unique fashion finds at Watson’s Chelsea Bazaar; or treat yourself to something delicious at Chocolate Barr’s or Distinctly Tea.
The Stratford Festival
Stratford has polished its art and cultural offerings to a shine. Taking centre stage is the world-famous Stratford Festival, which runs from April through October and offers a full program of productions to keep theatre-goers happy. Follow Shakespeare’s tragedies, laugh at his comedies, or take in the Festival’s selection of contemporary fare and musicals. With its packed season of performances, the Stratford Festival is definitely not much ado about nothing.
Where Art Plays its Part
In addition to being one of Ontario’s top destinations for live theatre, Stratford is also where you’ll find one of the province’s most robust art scenes. Enjoy a summer stroll along the banks of the Avon River and chat with artists displaying their work during Stratford Art in the Park; browse contemporary art at Gallery Stratford or Matilda Swanson Art Gallery; or explore the city’s eclectic collection of thespian street art for yourself.
Adventure Happens Outside
Stratford is outdoor urban living at its best. With formal parks and playgrounds, as well as lush nature areas and trails integrated into the community, it’s an all-seasons playground for people of all ages.
Paddle, kayak or canoe at Upper Queens Park; tour the Shakespearean Gardens; see the waterfall at Confederation Park; or spend an afternoon sampling Stratford’s unique ‘Bacon & Ale’ and ‘Chocolate’ Trails.
All the Right Connections
With East Stratford as your home base, the best of Southwestern Ontario is at your disposal. Enjoy the countless opportunities that Stratford has to offer, then visit Kitchener-Waterloo or London, both of which are less than 45 minutes away.
And for summer fun by the lake, the bustling surf-and-sun beach life of Grand Bend is only 50 minutes away — as are the campgrounds of Pinery Provincial Park.
Top Marks for Education
Whether public or private, Stratford is home to plenty of great schools to nurture young minds. Post secondary opportunities include Anderson College, Stratford Chef School, Conestoga College, or the University of Waterloo’s Stratford campus, which focuses on Interaction Design and Business.
