Cumberland real estate

Cumberland is a village on the Ottawa River in the east end of the City of Ottawa. It was part of the historic Township of Cumberland, which became the City of Cumberland in 1999 and joined the City of Ottawa in 2001. The village is roughly bounded by Highway 174 and the river to the north, Trim Road to the west, Innes Road to the southwest and Colonial Road to the southeast.

The village goes back to the early 1800s, and it once had wharves, mills and stores serving river traffic. That history lives on at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, and in the older homes along the river. Today Cumberland offers a quieter, more rural setting than Orléans while staying inside the city limits.

Around the village you will find country properties, larger lots and some newer homes, with Orléans shopping and services close by to the west and Rockland to the east.

Because Cumberland sits between two busier communities, it works well for people who split their week between the city and the country, or for families who want their children in Ottawa schools with a more rural feel at home. If river views and a slower pace are on your wish list, it is a good place to start your search.

Unique homes need careful pricing. My written market analysis compares your property with the most relevant sales in Cumberland, Orléans and nearby rural areas, and explains the adjustments, so you understand the number before we list.

I market Cumberland homes to buyers looking for space inside the city and to people already searching in Orléans and Rockland. Photos, description and showings are planned with you, with updates after every showing.

I help buyers who want space without leaving Ottawa, families moving between Orléans and Clarence-Rockland, and long-time owners selling a village or rural home.
