With so many opportunities for indoor and outdoor activities and an abundance of amenities, Beaverbrook provides the best of both worlds for families who love an active lifestyle with modern-day conveniences.

Why we love Beaverbrook

You’ll find many original homeowners who’ve raised their families in the community and are now transitioning into retirement or watching their children plant their own roots in the same neighbourhood. There is a distinct familial atmosphere and strong generational community ties present in Beaverbrook, making it a warm and inviting place to live.

There aren’t many areas of Ottawa that still exude the traditional community lifestyle of years past, but this quintessential family neighbourhood carries with it the spirit of old-school values. This combined with the quiet streets, the walkability, and natural setting make this wonderful enclave truly unique.
