About Barrhaven

Barrhaven has transformed from a small rural community to one of Ottawa's most dynamic suburbs over six decades. The original Old Barrhaven neighbourhood established in the 1960s has been joined by successive waves of development, with new communities continuing to expand westward toward Highway 416.

The area's rapid growth means Barrhaven offers remarkable housing diversity. Old Barrhaven and established areas feature mature lots with bungalows and split-levels, while newer developments like Half Moon Bay and Chapman Mills showcase contemporary designs with modern amenities.

Barrhaven's family-oriented demographics drive consistent demand for home improvements. The area's strong community identity means many residents choose to upgrade and renovate rather than relocate, creating steady opportunities for renovation contractors.

Location & Boundaries

Barrhaven is bounded by Fallowfield Road to the north, Highway 416 to the west, Barnsdale Road to the south, and the Rideau River to the east. Major roads including Strandherd Drive, Greenbank Road, and Woodroffe Avenue divide the area's many neighbourhoods.
