Things to keep in mind
Stittsville is a wonderful place to live, but commuting to downtown Ottawa can take around 40–45 minutes. If you work in the city core, it’s worth factoring that into your daily routine. Public transit is improving, but it’s not yet as robust as in more central neighbourhoods.
For many residents, the community atmosphere, amenities, and quality of life make the longer commute worthwhile.

Stittsville offers the space, comfort, and community feel that many buyers are looking for — without sacrificing access to shopping, dining, recreation, and essential services.
With its top schools, strong community vibe, beautiful homes, and abundant green space, it’s easy to see why so many people choose to make Stittsville home.
