What is the average home price in Findlay Creek?

Detached homes typically trade in the high $700,000s to low $1Ms, with larger upgraded singles pushing higher. Townhomes usually sit in the high $500,000s to low $700,000s, depending on age, layout, and parking.

Is Findlay Creek good for families?

Yes — newer homes, parks, sports fields, schools, and the boardwalk make it a strong family suburb. The trade-off is that retail and transit are still catching up to older communities like Alta Vista or Nepean.

How is the commute from Findlay Creek to downtown Ottawa?

Usually 25–35 minutes outside peak via Bank, Hunt Club, Riverside, or Airport Parkway. The Trillium Line stations at Leitrim and Bowesville help, especially toward Carleton, Bayview, and downtown transfers.

What builders are active in Findlay Creek?

Tartan, Tamarack, Claridge, and eQ have all been active, releasing singles, towns, and smaller-format homes across different phases. I can compare current resale value against any active builder release.

How does Findlay Creek compare with Riverside South?

Findlay Creek is a bit more established around Bank Street retail and often better value, while Riverside South has stronger LRT branding and a bigger growth pipeline. Many buyers tour both before deciding.

Findlay Creek Real Estate

By Bo Yu, Broker, Right at Home Realty, Brokerage

South Ottawa's newer suburbs have a few standouts, and Findlay Creek is one of them — built around Bank Street, Leitrim Road, and the protected boardwalk wetlands, with newer detached homes, townhomes, and retail that keeps expanding.

Not ready to go as far out as Greely, and not sold on Barrhaven either? Findlay Creek belongs on your shortlist.

Prices, rates, and program rules change often. Treat the figures here as general guidance, not advice for your specific situation. Ask Bo for current OREB comparables, and confirm program eligibility with your lender or lawyer.

Transportation & commute

Bank Street and Leitrim Road link Findlay Creek to Hunt Club, Riverside South, and Highway 417. The airport is about 10 minutes off, downtown runs 25–35 minutes outside peak, and the Trillium Line stops at Leitrim and Bowesville give it a real transit edge over many newer suburbs.

Parks & recreation

The wetland boardwalk and surrounding natural area are the signature draw, backed up by Diamond Jubilee Park, Kelly Farm Park, splash pads, sports fields, and Greenbelt access nearby.

Shopping & amenities

Findlay Creek Centre and the Bank Street corridor handle groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, banks, and gyms day to day. South Keys, Gloucester, and Riverside South are a short drive for anything bigger.

Lifestyle

Expect classic newer-suburb family living — attached garages, playgrounds, newer schools, cul-de-sacs, weekend sports. The wetlands and trails give this community a greener identity than most master-planned neighbourhoods.

Real estate market

Both resale and new-build stay active here, since buyers get newer inventory below comparable Riverside South and Barrhaven prices. Detached homes and townhomes dominate, with steady demand from airport workers, young families, and federal employees.

Average home prices

Detached homes typically trade in the high $700,000s to low $1Ms depending on size, lot, and finish. Townhomes usually land in the high $500,000s to low $700,000s, with stacked or smaller-format units starting lower.

Who should live in Findlay Creek

Families wanting newer housing, commuters to the airport or south/east Ottawa, and first-time move-up buyers after suburban space with better nature access than a typical subdivision offers.
