What is the average home price in Katimavik?

Detached homes here sell for more than the neighbourhood's townhomes, with condo units below both. Lot size and how much a home has been updated since its 1970s or '80s build matter as much as location, so I'll pull current comps for your target.

Is Katimavik a good place to live?

For central Kanata with mature trees and an established feel, it works well — Hazeldean Mall, Katimavik Elementary, and transit are all close. It suits people who'd rather buy into a settled street than a still-building subdivision.

What are the schools like in Katimavik?

Katimavik Elementary serves much of the neighbourhood directly, with other grades and streets falling under OCDSB, OCSB, CEPEO, or CECCE depending on catchment. Confirm the specifics for the address you're touring.

How is the commute from Katimavik to downtown Ottawa?

Figure 15 to 35 minutes outside peak hours by car via the nearest arterial and the 417, with OC Transpo buses covering the same route. Rush hour and winter driving add time.

What is the housing stock in Katimavik?

Mostly detached bungalows and two-storey homes from the 1970s and '80s, with some townhomes mixed in. On an older home like this, budget for a close inspection of the roof, furnace, and windows.

Katimavik Real Estate

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

Katimavik sits right in the middle of Kanata, one of the area's original neighbourhoods, with mature trees and housing stock that mostly dates to the 1970s and '80s.

This page covers schools, transit, parks, shopping, and pricing, so you know what to ask about before booking a showing.

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.

Community overview

Because Katimavik was built out decades ago, lots here tend to be a bit more generous than newer Kanata subdivisions, and the tree cover has had time to fill in. Most of the housing is detached bungalows and two-storey homes from that era, with pockets of townhomes closer to the arterials.

Transportation & commute

Katimavik feeds onto the nearest arterial and then Highway 417, putting downtown roughly 15 to 35 minutes away outside rush hour. OC Transpo buses run through regularly, and I can map out the best route once I know your target street.

Parks & recreation

Neighbourhood parks and schoolyards are woven through the older street pattern here, with pathway links connecting one block to the next. NCC greenspace is a short drive away for anyone wanting more than a local park.

Shopping & amenities

Hazeldean Mall sits right at the edge of the neighbourhood, covering groceries, pharmacies, and everyday errands without leaving the area. Restaurants, gyms, and banking are clustered along the same strip.

Lifestyle

This is an established, quiet part of Kanata — long-time owners mixed with newer families drawn to the mature lots and shorter drive to everything. Worth a drive-through on a weekend to see how the older streets feel compared to newer Kanata construction.

Real estate market

Because most homes date to the same building boom, resale here tends to be about updates and lot condition rather than dramatic differences in age. Detached homes make up the bulk of listings, with some townhomes and the occasional condo conversion.

Average home prices

Detached homes in Katimavik generally price above the townhomes here, and any condo units come in lower still. I'll pull current comps once I know the street and housing type you're after.

Who should live in Katimavik

Katimavik draws buyers who want an established central Kanata address near Hazeldean Mall and Katimavik Elementary without paying new-build premiums. It suits first-time buyers stretching into detached homes, families, and downsizers alike.
