Kinburn Real Estate & Houses for Sale
Kinburn is a good neighbourhood to buy a house in for those who prefer a relaxed environment. Kinburn is quiet overall, as the streets are generally tranquil - although that is not the case near the railway line or Highway 417. Parks are sparse, making it rather difficult to reach them from most locations within this part of the city. Despite that, there are a few green spaces nearby for residents to visit.
Transportation
Commuting by car is very easy in this area. It is very convenient to find a parking spot. Kinburn is not very bike-friendly because the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and the terrain is not particularly flat. Walking is also not very convenient for home buyers in Kinburn because meeting daily needs is very impractical without a car.
Housing
About 30% of properties in Kinburn were built pre-1960, while many of the remaining buildings were constructed in the 1960s and the 1980s. Single detached homes and townhouses are the main housing type in this neighbourhood. Homeowners occupy nearly 90% of the dwellings in Kinburn while the remainder are rented. This neighbourhood also has a choice of housing sizes; this neighbourhood is particularly good for those looking for three bedroom homes.
Services
In all but a very small number of cases, a car is required to purchase groceries. In terms of education, there are no high schools and no primary schools in this part of Ottawa. Additionally, parents and their children may consider it very hard to reach daycares on foot.
