Stittsville grew faster than almost anywhere in Ottawa. It was a village
of about 3,000 people in the 1970s. Municipal sewer and water arrived in
the mid eighties, and it’s now over 41,000 across nearly 15,000 homes.
Most of what we clean here was built inside the last thirty years.
That shows up as size. Jackson Trails, Granite Ridge and the newer
Wyldewood phases are large detached homes, and most of them have a
finished basement that gets used rather than stored in. The four bedroom
with a finished lower level is the common house here, not the exception,
so it’s the tier most of our Stittsville quotes land on.
Amberwood is its own thing. Built around the golf course and older than
the newer subdivisions, with a different feel and different finishes.
Timbermere sits somewhere between.
Then there’s the western edge. Stittsville runs out to Munster Road and
past a certain point you’re looking at working farmland. Homes out that
way get more grit and dust through the summer and more mud in spring
than anywhere in the middle of the city, and it lands on entryways,
mudrooms and the first stretch of floor inside every door.
