About Kanata

Kanata has evolved from a small village to Ottawa's largest and most dynamic suburb over the past five decades. The area's construction history reflects this growth: early neighbourhoods like Beaverbrook and Katimavik feature solid 1970s-80s construction with larger lots, while newer areas like Kanata Lakes and Morgan's Grant showcase modern building techniques and energy-efficient designs.

The diversity of Kanata's housing stock creates varied renovation and construction needs. Older homes often require electrical panel upgrades, HVAC replacements, and roof work, while owners of newer homes frequently invest in basement finishing, landscaping, and custom upgrades not included in their original purchase.

Kanata's status as Canada's largest technology park also influences construction demand. Many tech professionals moving to the area invest significantly in home improvements, and the area sees steady demand for home office conversions and additions.

Location & Boundaries

Kanata is bounded by the Carp River and rural Carp to the north, March Road and Nepean to the east, Highway 417 (Queensway) to the south, and Stittsville to the west. The area spans from the established Beaverbrook and Katimavik neighbourhoods in the east to newer developments in Kanata Lakes and Morgan's Grant in the west.
