A closer look at Barrhaven.

Barrhaven is a growing south-Ottawa suburban area shaped by residential communities, shopping nodes and green space around the Jock and Rideau rivers. It offers a different daily rhythm from central Ottawa, with more ground-oriented housing in many pockets.

A Barrhaven rental search should start with the part of the community that best connects to work, school, services or family. The area is large enough that two Barrhaven addresses can have notably different transit and shopping access.

Rental housing

What you may find.

Barrhaven includes detached and semi-detached homes, street, stacked and back-to-back townhouses, plus low- and mid-rise apartments. The mix available for rent changes over time.

Townhouses and houses often need a closer look at utilities, hot-water equipment, outdoor upkeep, waste collection and parking. For apartments, compare building access, storage, laundry and what is included in the monthly rent.

Getting around

Plan the actual trip.

Barrhaven's current rapid transit is bus-based. Fallowfield, Longfields, Marketplace and Barrhaven Centre are important transit points; Fallowfield also connects with VIA Rail and Park & Ride.

A rail extension is planned, but it is not operating. Use current service, not a future project, when deciding whether a particular home works for your commute.

Parks and amenities

Everyday reference points.

Barrhaven Town Centre and Chapman Mills Marketplace provide broad everyday shopping. Clarke Fields, Chapman Mills Conservation Area and routes along the Jock River give the district a strong recreation component.

Walter Baker Sports Centre and Minto Recreation Complex are notable facilities. Confirm how conveniently a prospective address reaches the amenities you expect to use regularly.
