Hunt Club Real Estate

Hunt Club is a broad south Ottawa district around Hunt Club Road, Riverside Drive, Uplands, and the airport. It offers a practical mix of detached homes, townhomes, condos, rental buildings, parks, shopping, and some of the city's quickest airport access.

For buyers focused on value, commute flexibility, and central-south convenience, Hunt Club often delivers more house for the money than better-known inner neighbourhoods.

Community overview

Hunt Club includes several sub-pockets around Hunt Club Road, Riverside Park South, Uplands, McCarthy Woods, and the airport edge. Housing ranges from 1970s detached homes and townhomes to condo apartments and newer infill pockets.

Transportation & commute

Hunt Club Road is one of Ottawa's major east-west arteries, connecting to Riverside, Bank, Prince of Wales, Highway 417, and Highway 416. The airport is minutes away, and South Keys / Greenboro Trillium Line stations serve many residents.

Parks & recreation

McCarthy Woods, Paul Landry Park, Uplands Park, the Rideau River, and nearby Mooney's Bay offer strong outdoor access. The neighbourhood is greener than its arterial-road reputation suggests.

Shopping & amenities

South Keys Shopping Centre, Hunt Club Centre, T&T, grocery stores, restaurants, and airport-area services cover daily needs. Bank Street, Merivale, and Billings Bridge are all short drives away.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the average home price in Hunt Club?
Detached homes in Hunt Club typically trade from the high $500,000s to high $700,000s, with upgraded larger homes higher. Townhomes often sit in the $400,000s to $600,000s, and condos can start in the low-to-mid $300,000s.
Is Hunt Club good for commuters?
Yes — Hunt Club Road, Riverside, Bank, Prince of Wales, Highway 417, Highway 416, and the Trillium Line all sit within reach depending on the pocket. It is one of south Ottawa's most connected areas.
Is airport noise a concern in Hunt Club?
It can be on certain streets closer to Uplands and flight paths. I recommend checking noise contours and visiting at different times of day before committing to a specific property.
How does Hunt Club compare with South Keys?
South Keys is more directly tied to LRT and retail around Bank Street, while Hunt Club is broader and more car-oriented with a wider mix of housing pockets. Both are strong value plays in south Ottawa.
Is Hunt Club a good investment market?
It can be. Entry pricing, rental demand from airport and federal workers, and condo/townhome supply create workable cash-flow scenarios, but building quality and condo fees need careful review.
