Orléans, Navan, Vars and Cumberland

From Orléans, an established and bilingual hub, to the quieter communities of Navan, Vars and Cumberland, our team on St-Joseph Boulevard knows every corner of this end of the city.

Four Communities, One Corner of East Ottawa

From urban life in Orléans to the quieter edges of Cumberland, this part of east Ottawa is anything but uniform. Here's what sets each community apart.

Orléans

The established heart of this area, with St-Joseph Boulevard as its commercial spine, an active francophone community life, and direct access to the Ottawa River at Petrie Island.
Navan

A small, quiet community founded in the 19th century that has kept a village feel despite being close to the rest of Ottawa.
Vars

A rural community surrounded by farmland, where properties come with more room to spread out than elsewhere in the city's east end.
Cumberland

A riverside village with its own character, connected to Masson-Angers, Quebec, by a year-round ferry.

What Really Sets East Ottawa Apart

This area combines things that aren't easy to find together elsewhere in Ottawa: direct access to the Ottawa River, an active francophone community life, and a housing mix that ranges from urban condos to rural properties with land.

Whether it's staying close to services and schools in Orléans, or gaining more space out toward Navan, Vars or Cumberland, east Ottawa lets you stay within the city while clearly shifting your pace of life.

Everything You Want to Know About East Ottawa

Thinking about buying or selling in Ottawa's east end? Here are the answers to what people ask us most.

Get in Touch

What Types Of Properties Are Available In East Ottawa?

The mix is varied: condos and townhouses near St-Joseph Boulevard in Orléans, single-family homes in established residential neighbourhoods, and properties with more land in Navan, Vars and Cumberland, including some farmland. What's available depends a lot on which community you're looking at.

What Is The Real Estate Market Like In Orléans And The Surrounding Communities?

The market varies by location. Orléans, being more urban and better served, generally sees steady demand and pricing that reflects its closeness to downtown. Navan, Vars and Cumberland move at a quieter pace, with properties that often stay more affordable. A RE/MAX Delta Realty agent can provide an up-to-date picture for a specific community.

Do Navan, Vars, And Cumberland Belong To The City Of Ottawa?

Yes. Navan, Vars and Cumberland are communities within the City of Ottawa, located at its eastern edge, in what was the former Township of Cumberland before the 2001 municipal amalgamation. They're part of Ottawa just like Orléans, while keeping a more rural character.

Is Orléans A Good Neighborhood For Families?

Yes. Orléans offers both French and English-language schools, parks, community centres and access to the Ottawa River at Petrie Island. Its active francophone community life and range of shops and services make it a popular choice for families who want to stay within Ottawa.

Are There Any Properties With More Land In This Area?

Yes, especially further out from Orléans. Navan, Vars and Cumberland have properties with larger lots, some with agricultural use, for buyers looking for more space without leaving the City of Ottawa.
