Barrhaven
Barrhaven is one of Ottawa's fastest-growing and most popular suburban communities. Located in the southwest part of the city, south of Hunt Club and west of the Rideau River, it's known for its family-oriented atmosphere, top-tier schools, sprawling parklands, and modern retail hubs.
Around 55% of households in Barrhaven are families with children, and the area has a high proportion of dual-income households. Real estate here consists primarily of modern freehold townhomes, stacked condo units, and spacious 3-to-5-bedroom single-family detached homes — with rapid growth continuing in neighbourhoods like Half Moon Bay and Quinn's Pointe.
Driving into downtown Ottawa via Highway 416/417 takes roughly 25–35 minutes off-peak. OC Transpo operates rapid bus routes (BRT) connecting through Longfields and Fallowfield Stations.
