Orleans
Orléans is Ottawa's principal east-end suburban community, nestled along the southern banks of the Ottawa River. Located roughly 15 to 20 minutes east of downtown Ottawa via Highway 174, Orléans is famous for its rich French-Canadian heritage, high rate of bilingualism, family-friendly master-planned neighbourhoods, and prime access to waterfront parks and nature reserves.
Around 58% of households here are families with children, with a high density of bilingual households — over 30% Francophone — alongside a strong concentration of public servants, military personnel, and professionals.
Stage 2 LRT extends O-Train Line 1 directly into Orléans through stations at Jeanne d'Arc, Place d'Orléans, and Trim Road, cutting commute times into downtown Ottawa.
