Newhamberg and Area contains a number of rural and semi rural communities including Wellesley, St Agtha, Petersburg, Baden, New Dundee, Roseville and New Hamburg. This is an area of rolling hills and mixed farming. Industry is found mostly in New Hamburg with some also in Wellesley, Baden and New Dundee. There are several new or newer subdivisions in a number of the communities as well as country properties up to 25 acres and of course many farms. Except in several villages, children are bused to schools. I would suggest a wide search if you are looking for a home in this area. Once you have found some possibilities you can begin to narrow down the location. Highway 7 & 8 provides quick four lane access from most of this area into Kitchener Waterloo and on to Highway 401 toward Toronto.
