Sitting on the shores of the Rideau river, Manotick has earned its reputation as one of the most desirable areas of Ottawa. This neighbourhood has a rich history dating back to the 1830’s when it was originally settled which adds to its distinct character.

Manotick is just 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa and close to major roadways including Mitch Owens Road, Prince of Wales Drive, and Limebank Road. Residents here primarily rely on cars, bicycles, and walking for transportation.
