Areas I serve
Nepean real estate
Nepean covers a large part of Ottawa's west and southwest, with established neighbourhoods close to the core. I help buyers and sellers across the area.
Living in Nepean
Nepean is a former city that is now a large area of the City of Ottawa, west and southwest of the inner core. It began as a township in 1792, was incorporated as a city in 1978 and joined the new City of Ottawa in 2001. The name is still in everyday use.
Nepean includes many established neighbourhoods, such as Centrepointe, Craig Henry, Bells Corners, Crestview and the areas around Merivale Road and Baseline Road. Most homes inside the Greenbelt were built from the 1950s to the 1980s, often on good-sized lots with mature trees. Barrhaven, to the south, was also part of Nepean and has its own guide.
Algonquin College's Ottawa campus is in Nepean, and Centrepointe has the Meridian Theatres and nearby parks. Shopping and services are spread throughout the area, and much of it sits close to the Greenbelt's trails.
Buying a home in Nepean
Nepean is popular with buyers who want an established neighbourhood that is closer to the core than the outer suburbs. Many homes are older bungalows, split-levels and two-storey homes, so it is worth looking closely at updates, roof, windows, electrical and the basement. I help you plan the right inspection and compare each home with recent sales on similar streets.
Some streets see new infill homes replacing older ones. I can help you weigh an updated older home against a newer build on the same street.
Selling your home in Nepean
In an established area, small differences such as lot size, updates and street location matter a lot. My written market analysis explains how your home compares with nearby sales, so the price makes sense to you and to buyers.
I plan photos, MLS® exposure and showings with you, and I tell you honestly which updates are worth doing before you list and which are not.
Getting around
Highway 417 runs along the north of Nepean and Highway 416 runs along its west side. OC Transpo serves the area, including the Southwest Transitway and Baseline station.
Who I help in Nepean
I help first-time buyers, families moving up, long-time owners downsizing, and sellers moving within Ottawa or out of the city.
Questions about Nepean
Is Barrhaven part of Nepean?
Barrhaven was part of the former City of Nepean, and many people still group them together. I have a separate guide for Barrhaven because it has its own market.
What should I check when buying an older Nepean home?
Look closely at the roof, windows, electrical, plumbing and the basement, and ask about past updates. I help you plan an inspection that matches the age of the home.
Are there infill and new homes in Nepean?
Yes. Some streets have newer homes replacing older ones. I can help you compare an updated older home with a newer one on the same street.
How do I find out what my Nepean home is worth?
Ask for my free home value report. You get a written comparative market analysis based on recent sales near you.

Real reviews from my Google Business Profile, quoted word for word.
As first time home buyers we are so fortunate to have been paired with Paul, his sound guidance, responsiveness and expertise helped us land the home of our dreams in a difficult market. We would have sat and waited too long to put in an offer had we not followed his advice. We had a lot of unknowns and each time one popped up Paul found answers SUPER quickly- even our insurance agent was impressed by his responsiveness. He did an amazing job helping us source reliable experts for the many inspections we had and was very impressive doing so on a short time frame. We are so grateful for all of Paul’s hard work, dedication, and negotiation skills. You can tell he's a people's person who loves what he does and is energized by the joy of helping people. Would recommend and would trust Paul again :) (He additionally got us some house warming gifts- included baby chickens! )

Paul is the best man to find you a new home! He'll do it quick and stress free, not pushy at all into buying a home. Out of all the Agents I have met buying multiple homes, he's definitely number #1. Really cares about finding your dream home that matches your need and comfort. He also loves his job which makes it enjoyable for everyone. He treats you like family and is always honest and humble with his recommendations. My experience was absolutely amazing and I will call him on my next purchase for sure. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything!
