Living in Nepean

Nepean covers a large area of Ottawa’s west and south-west, much of it just outside the Greenbelt and only minutes from downtown. Many of its neighbourhoods were built from the 1960s to the 1980s, so you’ll find mature trees, larger lots and solid, well-kept homes, often at better prices than comparable homes closer to the core.

Nepean is close to everything. Algonquin College, Centrepointe and the Meridian Theatres, Bayshore Shopping Centre, College Square and the Merivale Road shopping corridor are all here, along with the Nepean Sportsplex. The Baseline transit hub and quick access to Highway 417 and the 416 make commuting simple.
