What Ottawa neighbourhood do you foresee being the next up-and-coming area and why?ย
Agent #1 โ Jason Spartalis โ REMAX Affiliates Realty

โOwing to his success is his drive to exceed his clientsโ expectations and determination to always get the very best value.โ
โVanier gentrification is coming, values are still affordable and it is a highly rental-able area. The city is on board with this and from what Iโve seen, more and more homes are being redeveloped.โ

Agent #2 โ Candice Trzmiel โ Royal Lepage Team Realty
Agent #3 โ Melanie Mctigue โ Century 21 Synergy Realty

โMelanie brings extraordinary energy to her real estate business, resulting in an unequaled level of customer service.โ
โLet me plug my own area. In my view, Kanata West/Stittsville offer the most promising neighbourhoods for growth and long-term quality of life. This area is a perfect mix of access to services, amenities, schools, transportation, and much more.โ

Agent #4 โ Brady Tran โ Engel & Vรถlkers Ottawa Central
Agent #5 โ Toju Temile โ EXP Realty

โI am a young, family-oriented, self-driven, and passionate woman who loves helping people find comfort in their homes, hence my love for real estate.โ
โI can definitely see Findlay Creek taking over! The development there is absolutely insane and I canโt wait to see how it will evolve over the next few years. I particularly love it because itโs close and people donโt have to drive 30+ minutes from the city to have access to newer homes. It is a highly sought-after area and will be for some time!โ

Agent #6 โ Stefanie Winstan โ REMAX Hallmark Realty

โThrives on being a part of others success and wishes nothing but happiness, health and wealth for those around her.โ
โCarlington! Located near downtown in the west end, and according to Stats Canada, one in ten houses in the area are in need of renovations. (Over 40 percent of the houses were built before 1960). This makes it a great spot for flippers to do their thing and re-sell to families.
Carlington is really situated in a great spot as well. Between Fisher, Carling, and the Queensway; youโre super close to transit routes and not far from Dowโs Lake. If youโre a cyclist, itโs a 13-minute ride to Tunneyโs Pasture, 15 minutes to Carleton University, or half an hour to city hall.โ

Agent #7 โ Paul Mclaughlin โ First Choice Realty
โI believe Alta Vista still presents good value as it is centrally located, offers excellent schools, is close to 3 major hospitals, is close to shopping, enjoys abundant greenspace, offers excellent public transit/LRT access, offers large residential lots, and lovely treed neighbourhoods. It has a nice mix of solid, well-built new homes as well as older properties, some of which have been nicely renovated and are move-in ready, while others can be purchased at a price that leaves room in the budget to renovate and create your new home.
This area is and continues to be very attractive to those wishing to live within the greenbelt in a solid upper-middle-class area just minutes from downtown and still at relatively attainable prices.โ

Agent #8 โ Nish Kapoor โ Royal LePage Team Realty

โAlways prepared to offer his clients a truly complete package to enhance their real estate experience.โ
โKemptville is very well connected, has a high growth rate, all amenities are readily available, and provides easy access to the 416, one of Ottawaโs main highways. It is close to several bodies of water and is a family-friendly community.โ
โKemptvilleโ
Agent #9 โ Nic Ciatto-Bรฉgin โ Marilyn Wilson Dream Properties

โIโll be there to guide you through every step to ensure a smooth transaction and build a lasting relationship along the way.โ
โI have a lot of faith in Vanier. Having lived in the neighbourhood and seeing firsthand all the new construction taking place, Iโm confident in saying itโs a great area to consider for investment. In a few years, I see it as becoming a trendy extension to Beechwood village in the likes of Westboro and Hintonburg. Its close proximity to downtown, the highway and Gatineau are all big advantages as well.โ
โVanierโ
Agent #10 โ Melissa Nguyen โ Avenue North Realty

โI have a passion for people, a dedication to my clients, and strive for a lifetime client relationship.โ
โKanata hands down. With the expansion of Ottawa into the suburbs, Kanata has become a popular and desirable area to live. Amenities are being built nearby, itโs right off the 417, and is only about a 25-30 minute drive to downtown Ottawa. Itโs a newer area, yet has established roots surrounding it, making it a great place for families and young professionals alike.โ
