Old Barrhaven Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Old Barrhaven is exemplified by its relaxed environment. The majority of locations in the neighbourhood have reasonably good access to public green spaces, such as Strandherd Ultimate Fields and Ken Ross Park, since there are approximately 40 of them close by for residents to check out. This area is also very quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Transportation

The best approach to get around in this area is very often driving. The majority of homes for sale are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, and it is convenient to access a parking spot. On the other hand, Old Barrhaven is not especially transit friendly. Thankfully, there are plenty of rapid transit stations. Homeowners benefit from about 20 bus lines, and the closest bus stop is usually around the corner. This part of the city is moderately bike-friendly because Old Barrhaven boasts fairly good cycling infrastructure, and there are a limited number of slopes to challenge cyclists. This neighbourhood is not particularly convenient for those who like to travel on foot since running common errands is occasionally challenging without the use of a vehicle.

Housing

Roughly 90% of the properties in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners whereas the remainder are rented. In this part of the city, around 60% of dwellings are single detached homes, whereas the rest are mainly townhouses. Most of the housing growth in this part of Ottawa occurred between 1980 and 1990. This neighbourhood is particularly good for those looking for three bedroom homes.
