I do agree that it's walkable, but I think these two estimates are a bit optimistic. Mr Google says it's 1.3 km to Waterloo City Hall (from Rexall in Belmont Village) and 2.4 km to Kitchener City Hall, so I'd say 15 minutes' walk to central Waterloo for most people, and 25-30 minutes to DTK.
I've walked the distance often enough in the other direction!
I can walk to Valumart or the Shops in 10 minutes from our place, but I do admit the downtown timeframe was quite optimistic.
The rest of my points still stand!
