Neighbourhood Reports

We’re your neighbourhood experts

The Ottawa region is divided into localized communities starting in the urban areas and moving outwards into the suburbs and rural areas. The Greenbelt, which was created in the 1950s borders much of the urban parts of the city and contains 20,000 hectares of green space. The wetlands, farms, forests, streams, and trails were originally purposed to prevent urban sprawl. Today, it continues this function along with sustaining biodiversity and ecological health in Canada’s capital.

Uprooting is stressful. Viewing homes and or rental properties is equally exhilarating as it is exhausting. The thrill of finding the right home for you and your family is exciting — but wait, what about ensuring you’re in the right community? Does it have a school close by? Is public transportation accessible? Is it safe? What are the demographics like? Is the community on the rise or the decline? Did you remember to turn the stove off?

We get it. You have a lot on your mind as you prepare to move. All of these questions are important — after all, you don’t just move into a new home, you also move into a new community. We’re here to ensure we find the right fit for you.

Amazing to have complete trust in a real estate agent! Donna treated me like a friend/family member and was always there with information and encouragement when I needed it. She asked a much higher price than I expected and succeeded in attracting and negotiating two excellent offers in a short time. She has extraordinary ability to network. I loved the email notification and feedback for showings and felt supported throughout. Donna listened to my needs and put my interests above her own.

Thank you, Glenn and the Floyd team! It was a real pleasure working with you. As first time home buyers, we felt very supported through the process. You were very patient and accommodating with us and provided lots of information. We always felt you were being honest and straightforward. Also, the people you referred us to (lawyer, inspector, etc.) were great too. We have no hesitation in referring you to other homebuyers! Claire Dyason & Michel Shamy
