Cardinal Creek in Orleans

One consideration that a buyer should take into account when purchasing a new home is the neighbourhood and surrounding area. For those looking for condominium in a trendy, happening place that is close to specialty shops, bistros and endless nighttime entertainment, the Ottawa downtown core is the place to be.

Others may be looking for a sense of “quiet community”, perhaps a nice townhouse or single detached home to raise a family. What may be important to this buyer is a home where the children can ride bikes safely, they can have barbeques in the backyard, they can join a neighbourhood committee and be close to schools, parks and away from busy roads.

Welcome to Cardinal Creek, a blossoming community in Orleans in the east end of Ottawa. This community borders along Trim road and is made up of smaller neighbourhoods including Spring Ridge, Oak Ridge, East Village, Kings Pointe, Queens Pointe and Cardinal Trail. It offers incredible amenities for those looking to settle down in a place with the opportunities for growth, comfort and recreation. Surrounded by several parks, many walking trails, and a selection of elementary schools that focus on the French or English language or bilingual options, it is the perfect place to achieve a sense of community.

One year at Keller Williams - Ottawa Realty

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have been at Keller Williams Ottawa Realty for over one year now.

The move was a great decision on my part and I have never looked back. The past 12 months have been very busy for me and my business has grown tremendously. I owe it all to you my family, my friends, my clients and also to Keller Williams to making the transition easy and painless.

Keller Williams has so much to offer the agents with their wonderful training, support and technology. After being a co-owner of another Real Estate company I realized that doing what I love most ( helping people buy & sell homes ) is very important to me and makes me happy to see smiles on my clients faces.

Looking forward to another great year at Keller Williams. Feel free to visit my web site for information on how I help all my clients and take a look at my video blog as well.

Keep an eye out for my new vehicle driving all over Ottawa.
