Kanata & Stittsville: Suburban Growth in Ottawa's Tech West

Kanata and Stittsville are the engine of Ottawa's west-end growth — master-planned subdivisions built around the Kanata North tech park, family amenities, and the Canadian Tire Centre. The corridor is dominated by freehold houses and townhouses, much of it newer construction, so the fitting OREB figure is the townhouse benchmark of $554,700 in March 2026 (down 3.2% year-over-year). Townhouses are also Ottawa's busiest segment: OREB reported they saw the most turnover of any housing type in February 2026, even as rising supply nudged prices down. For buyers, that means an active, well-supplied corridor where new-build and resale options compete directly for attention.
