Mannheim is a beautiful neighbourhood with a rich history that dates back to the 1800s.
The area was first settled by German immigrants who were seeking a new life in Canada. They named the area after the city of Mannheim in Germany, which was the hometown of many of the settlers. Technically a part of Wilmot township, Mannheim is often considered to be a part of the city of Kitchener due to its closer proximity to the city.
This neighbourhood is home to a broad mixture of homes including modest bungalows to executive homes for the more affluent residents. The age of homes in the area varies as well. There are beautiful heritage homes that date back to the early 1900s, as well as modern homes that feature sleek designs and cutting-edge technology. Regardless of the style, all the homes in Mannheim are well-maintained and reflect the pride that residents have for their neighbourhood.
This area is conveniently located off of Trussler Road and Bleams Road, giving close access to both The Sunrise Centre and the shops at The Boardwalk located north on Ira Needles. Convenient access to the Expressway makes for easy transportation throughout the city considering the neighbourhood is based on the outskirts of the city.
