Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
Cantley is a beautiful area of forests, hills, lakes and rivers north of downtown Ottawa, Canada’s capital. Our home is ideally located to enjoy all that the country and outdoors have to offer - hiking, swimming and cycling in the summer; skiing, snowshoeing and skating in the winter; and two Nordic spas open year round. For excellent restaurants, museums, galleries and festivals, Ottawa is a quick 15-20 minutes drive away and Montreal is two hours. Old Chelsea and the entrance to Gatineau Park are also 15-20 minutes away, and the charming village of Wakefield to the north is a 30 minute drive. Our neighbourhood is set in a forest with a playground and basketball court a 15 minute walk away. Grocery stores, pharmacies and all other amenities are nearby as well. Essentially everything is within 20 minutes. The people in Gatineau and Ottawa are warm and friendly, and it’s a wonderful place to live and visit.
Nearest Airport: Ottawa MacDonald-Cartier International Airport

We are a family that loves to travel and explore. The last six years saw us living in Chicago, London and Toronto before trading in city life for a forest house, where we are better able to spend more time outdoors and work on our French.
