Houses for Sale in Kanata Ottawa

Types of Homes in Kanata

Kanata was once part of the Township of March until it was incorporated as a city in 1978. Although there are very old homes in parts of the community, most houses in the community were built after the 1970s. In some of the area subdivisions, you’ll find newer homes with new ones being built every year. Across the diverse neighbourhoods, you’ll see these types of properties:

• Apartment condos – These are individually owned units in a building but there is a common entrance for all occupants rather than private access to units.
• Townhouse condos – Townhouse condos are similar to apartment condos, both are managed by a condominium corporation. However, each townhouse condo has its own separate main entrance while apartment condos share the same main entrance.
• Townhouses and semi-detached houses – A shared wall between houses is a common feature of this type of housing. However, townhouses are usually built in rows so you may share a wall on either side of the building. On the other hand, a semi-detached is a single-family home with one shared wall with another home.

• Bungalows – Most often, a bungalow is a single-story home or sometimes, there may be a half or partial story created in a sloped roof. Dormer windows and large verandas are distinguishing features of some bungalows.
• Detached houses – A stand-alone, single-family home that is not attached on any side to another home, this type of residence has more indoor and outdoor space. Hence, these homes are generally priced higher than townhouses and semi-detached houses for sale in Kanata Ottawa.
• Farms and estate lot communities – There are a variety of farms and estate lot communities surrounding Kanata, Carp, West Carleton and Stittsville.
