I’ve worked with both buyers and sellers in Hintonburg, and I’m excited to share with you what this neighbourhood has to offer.

The Glebe

I love the Glebe. I spend most weekends there eating, exploring, and shopping with my family.

So I thought: what better way to put my Glebe knowledge to use than to put it all down in a guide just for you?

Hintonburg

Stittsville

In my opinion, Stittsville is the best of both worlds: set up as a suburban bedroom community, but easily within reach of amenities in Kanata and downtown Ottawa.

Barrhaven

For buyers of all budgets and family sizes, Barrhaven offers a lot of modern homes and great schools. It’s a bit spread out, so having a car really helps if you want to buy in this neighbourhood.

Kanata

When people talk about the Ottawa real estate market, they always talk about Ottawa as a whole. But within Ottawa, there are some neighbourhoods more in demand than others. Kanata is one of those neighbourhoods.

Wellington West

Wellington West is most definitely a trendy neighbourhood in the Ottawa West area, with its main amenities and resources located on Wellington Street.
