About McKellar

McKellar is a mature, low-density neighbourhood in Ottawa’s west end (often referred to locally as McKellar Park), known for quiet tree-lined streets, a family-oriented feel, and a mix of well-kept mid-century homes, updated bungalows, and newer infill builds. Demographics skew toward higher-income professional households and long-term owners, with steady demand from families seeking a stable residential area close to the Ottawa River and major employment nodes. Nearby green space and recreation are key draws, including access to the Ottawa River pathways, Westboro Beach, and local parks, supporting strong lifestyle-driven buyer demand.

Amenities are anchored by nearby Westboro’s retail and dining along Richmond Road, with everyday services, groceries, and cafes within a short drive, bike ride, or walk depending on location. Schools commonly associated with the area include Broadview Public School and Nepean High School (along with nearby French-language options), contributing to resilient resale demand. Transit access is solid via frequent bus service on major corridors (e.g., Carling Avenue/Richmond Road) and improving rail connectivity in the broader west-end network, though many households remain car-oriented. Real estate trends typically reflect limited turnover, constrained lot supply, and ongoing renovation/infill activity, which supports price growth but keeps rental yields moderate due to high entry prices; the rental market is strongest for renovated single-family homes and higher-end duplex/infill units appealing to professional tenants.

Market pulse

McKellar currently has 71 active listings, with a median asking price of $549,000 and an average of $571/sqft, giving buyers a fairly broad set of options across price points. Homes are averaging 76 days on market and only 14 new listings have come up in the past 30 days, suggesting demand is steady but not urgent and well-priced properties should stand out. For investors, the current pricing and longer selling window point to a market where negotiation and careful deal selection matter more than speed.
