Is Nepean a good place to live?
Nepean suits people who want a suburban west-end Ottawa setting with many parks, four school boards and a range of housing from detached homes to apartments. It is mostly car-oriented: in the 2021 census, 62.2% to 82.6% of workers in the Nepean neighbourhoods commuted by car, and Walk Score averages run from 21 to 39.
As of · Updated
Whether it is a good fit depends on budget, commute and school needs. Nepean has Transitway stations, parks and hydro-corridor trails, supermarkets and rec centres within a few kilometres of each neighbourhood (straight-line distances).
Neighbourhoods differ widely: Bells Corners East is 84.3% owner households, while Parkwood Hills is 87.7% renter households (2021 census).
