What is the average home price in Greely?

Detached homes trade from the high $800,000s into the multi-millions for newer executive builds and larger acreages. Lot size and finish level drive pricing here more than in standard subdivisions — a 1-acre Sunset Lakes home and a 5-acre estate are really two different markets.

How large are the lots in Greely?

Most run 1 to 2 acres, with estate streets and rural-edge properties stretching to 5 acres or more. Sunset Lakes is built around a man-made lake system with shared waterfront amenities, while Emerald Links wraps around the golf course.

Is Greely on city water and sewer?

Most properties run on private wells and septic rather than municipal services — that's part of what keeps the larger lots attainable. Water testing, septic inspection, and well-flow verification are standard on every Greely offer I write.

What's the commute from Greely to downtown Ottawa?

Figure 25 to 35 minutes by car via Bank Street or Highway 416, or about 10 to 15 minutes to reach Findlay Creek and the South Keys LRT station. OC Transpo service is limited, so this stays a drive-to-everything community.

Are there equestrian properties in Greely?

Yes — the rural roads around Greely have a good number of equestrian properties with stables, paddocks, and riding rings. Manotick and Osgoode nearby have similar inventory, so I typically widen the search across the rural-south belt for equestrian buyers.

Greely Real Estate

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

Greely sits southeast of the city near Manotick and Findlay Creek, and it's built almost entirely around one idea: space. One- and two-acre lots, executive homes, and a country pace that's still a manageable drive from Ottawa.

If acreage or an estate property is what you're after, this is likely where you'll end up looking. Here's the rundown.

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.

Downtown Ottawa is 25 to 35 minutes by car via Bank Street or Highway 416; Findlay Creek and the South Keys LRT station are closer, about 10 to 15 minutes. OC Transpo service is limited, so driving is the norm.

Shopping & amenities

Findlay Creek Marketplace and Greely's own small commercial core cover the day-to-day; for full big-box shopping, South Keys and Barrhaven are about 15 minutes out.

Lifestyle

Think acreage-suburban: executive homes, bigger garages, country roads, a round of golf close by, and a pace well removed from central Ottawa. It suits executives, families wanting privacy, and equestrian buyers especially well.

Real estate market

This is a luxury-skewed resale market, dominated by executive detached homes. Inventory runs thinner than in Ottawa's denser suburbs, and pricing tracks lot size and finish level more than it does in typical subdivisions.

Average home prices

Detached homes trade from the high $800,000s into the multi-millions once you're into newer executive builds or larger acreages.

Who should live in Greely

Executives, growing families wanting acreage, equestrian buyers, and downsizers after one-level living on a bigger lot all find their way to Greely.
