Living in Kanata

Kanata, Ottawa's West End

People who desire a quieter, suburban lifestyle when buying a home in Ottawa tend to look at Kanata first. Kanata homes represent good value with modern construction and access to great schools and green space. From Kanata and Stittsville you can commute into downtown Ottawa or elsewhere in the city. Many Kanata homeowners in fact work in Kanata as well, with Ottawa’s tech sector located within Kanata along the Ottawa River and March Road corridor. Generations have now grown up in Kanata and are a testament to the area’s fine schools and sense of community. Kanata was once an independent city but is now part of the City of Ottawa, thanks to the amalgamation of 2001.

Those looking to buy a Kanata home have several options, from singles, semis and townhomes in well-planned communities to low-rise and mid-rise condos that front onto green space. Kanata homes also offer proximity within walking, cycling or short driving distance to a host of shopping, dining and entertainment options. The Ottawa Senators play at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, which also houses numerous other sporting and music events throughout the year. A Kanata home puts you in an idyllic suburban community, close to the city yet immediately adjacent to the country as well – the best of both worlds!
