The History of Kanata
Kanata was largely rural and agricultural until development accelerated during the 1960s. Planner and developer Bill Teron acquired more than 3,000 acres and began creating a planned community that integrated residential neighbourhoods, employment areas, commercial centres and protected green space.
Kanata was incorporated as a city in 1978. It remained an independent municipality until 2001, when it became part of the newly amalgamated City of Ottawa.
The area’s original planning principles can still be seen in communities such as Beaverbrook, Katimavik, Glen Cairn, Bridlewood, Kanata Lakes and Morgan’s Grant. Each was developed with its own residential character and connections to parks, services and commercial areas.
Real Estate Development in Kanata
Kanata continues to evolve through a combination of infill development, new subdivisions and expanding commercial areas. Buyers can choose from mature communities with established trees and larger lots, newer developments with contemporary designs, or properties located close to major employment and shopping districts.
Housing options throughout Kanata include:

- Stacked and traditional townhomes

The right community will depend on factors such as your budget, preferred home style, school requirements, commute and desired access to parks or amenities.
