Moving to Ottawa in 2026?

Before you choose a neighbourhood, you need to know this:
Most relocators don’t regret the neighbourhood they picked...
They regret the neighbourhood they didn’t choose.
In this video, I break down the Ottawa neighbourhoods that people consistently wish they had considered — based on real relocation search trends, lifestyle data, and the questions families and professionals Google before moving here.
We'll look at what different movers search for:
✔ Families: best schools, safest areas, new builds, community feel
✔ Professionals: walkability, commute, restaurants, transit access
✔ Tech workers: Kanata North neighbourhoods with top schools
✔ Relocators: value, lifestyle, outdoor recreation, village feel
✔ Investors: cashflow, redevelopment zones, appreciation pockets
And then I reveal the neighbourhoods they regret NOT choosing:
🏡 Stittsville
🏡 Barrhaven (Stonebridge, Half Moon Bay, Quinn’s Pointe)
🏡 Chapel Hill / Avalon West in Orléans
🏡 Russell & Embrun — including the home I just purchased
🏡 Hintonburg / Wellington Village
🏡 Westboro
🏡 The Glebe
🏡 Old Ottawa East
🏡 Kanata North (tech hub communities)
🏙 LeBreton Flats — massive redevelopment zone with long-term potential
🏡 Manotick — Ottawa’s top lifestyle community
…plus three honourable mentions at the end.
If you're trying to figure out where to live in Ottawa, this guide will help you avoid regret, understand the differences between neighbourhoods, and make a confident decision based on your lifestyle, commute, family plan, and long-term goals.
