New Townhomes in Listowel and North Perth
Listowel is the largest community in the Municipality of North Perth, a Perth County town of roughly 8,000 people surrounded by some of Ontario's most productive farmland. It has what many growing towns have lost: a real downtown, a hospital, a full slate of schools, and a recreation complex — all inside a community you can cross in ten minutes.
For buyers priced out of Kitchener-Waterloo or Guelph, and for local families and downsizers who want to stay in North Perth, Listowel offers new-home ownership at a scale that still makes sense. Carey Homes is building here for exactly that reason.

Register Your InterestWhere Listowel Is and How It Connects
Listowel sits at the junction of Highway 23 and Highway 86, about 45 minutes northwest of Waterloo, 50 minutes from Kitchener, an hour from Guelph, and 40 minutes from Stratford. Goderich and the Lake Huron shoreline are roughly an hour west.
The town is compact and flat, laid out around a historic Main Street core with residential streets and the Steve Kerr Memorial Complex fanning out from it. Walton Street sits within that established fabric — an infill location rather than a greenfield subdivision on the edge of town.
