Rural Kanata & Carp

Living in rural communities have many benefits and appeal to a lot of people. Rural living offers the opportunity for a quite outdoor environment, with more land, and with less traffic & noise pollution. This option is ideal if you want to be close to amenities, but still enjoy country living. Rural living isn’t only for mature residents, raising a family in a rural community allows you to give your children the chance to run free in your backyard, and have a unique childhood.

Carp offers many attractive amenities for its residents including the Carp Farmer’s Market, held every Saturday from May to October, the Annual Carp Fair, held every September, and the Diefenbunker Museum, now referred to as Canada’s Cold War Museum. Carp is surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of biking, hiking, walking and snowmobiling trails across the Ottawa Valley.
