Nepean is one of Ottawa's most established and beloved communities, encompassing a large swath of west and southwest Ottawa that was its own city until amalgamation in 2001. Nepean combines mature, tree-lined neighbourhoods with excellent schools, shopping, and convenient access to Kanata tech corridor and downtown Ottawa. It's a perennial favourite for government workers, families, and buyers seeking urban convenience with suburban space.
Nepean encompasses a wide range of neighbourhoods and price points. Well-established areas like Barrhaven, Centrepointe, and Bells Corners offer varying price points. Single-family homes across Nepean average $650,000–$900,000 in 2025, with the most desirable inner-Nepean neighbourhoods like Centrepointe and Craig Henry running higher.
Centrepointe is a highly desirable area with the Algonquin College campus nearby, the Centrepointe Theatre, and excellent transit to downtown via Baseline Road. Homes here run $700,000–$900,000. The neighbourhood has mature trees and established character that newer suburbs lack.
Craig Henry is one of Nepean's most sought-after family neighbourhoods, with large lots, good schools, and the Walter Baker Park nearby. Single-family homes: $750,000–$950,000. Very low turnover — residents tend to stay for decades.
Bells Corners at the western edge of Nepean is more affordable and offers good access to the Kanata tech corridor. Homes run $550,000–$720,000. Transit connections are improving with the LRT expansion plans.
The Merivale Road corridor has extensive commercial services and mixed-use development. Adjacent residential areas are convenient and mid-range priced. Townhomes and semis at $480,000–$620,000 are abundant.
Ottawa pays Ontario LTT only — no municipal LTT. On a $750,000 Nepean home: $11,475. First-time buyers receive up to $4,000 rebate reducing this to $7,475.
