Living in Kanata

Kanata is one of Ottawa’s most popular places to buy a home. It sits about 25 minutes west of downtown along Highway 417 and is home to Kanata North, one of Canada’s largest technology parks. That mix of good jobs, newer neighbourhoods and green space makes it a favourite with families and tech professionals alike.

Life here is easy. Kanata Centrum and the Tanger Outlets cover shopping and dining, the Canadian Tire Centre brings Senators games and concerts close to home, and trails, golf courses and the Ottawa River shoreline are minutes away. Kanata has been part of the City of Ottawa since 2001, so you get suburban space with city services.
