Barrhaven is the most rapidly growing area of National Capitol Region and is located a mere 20 kms southwest of Ottawa's downtown core. A thriving community, with an abundance of family and neighbourhood resources, Barrhaven is a community on the rise, and one of the most sought after locations. With easy access to all of the amenities of downtown Ottawa by transit or by car, Barrhaven is the perfect choice for homebuyers who are looking for a "live, work, play" lifestyle.

For families, Barrhaven is a perfect location for raising children. Both the public and Catholic school systems, and French Immersion programs are well represented in Barrhaven, across all grades from JK through to High School. The Walter Baker Centeroffers access to a full complement of City of Nepean programs, and houses swimming pools, hockey arenas, as well as a public library.

Before municipal amalgamation in 2001, Barrhaven was a neighbourhood in the City of Nepeanwith fewer than 35,000 people. With new housing developments being built, Barrhaven's population will surpass 100,000 in a few short years.
