Clairmont by Mattamy Homes in Guelph

Connectivity at Clairmont

Clairmont sits at Clair Road West and Gosling Gardens in the Clairfields area of Guelph’s south end. Mattamy places the community within about ten minutes of Highway 6 and Highway 401, and the Hanlon Expressway is the limited-access route linking Guelph with the 401. Guelph Transit’s 99 Mainline runs along the Gordon Street corridor to Clair Road, so riders should check current routes and schedules.
