Country feel in the City – Best of Both Worlds!!
Since the extension of the Queensway in the 1970s made travel from Ottawa quicker and easier, Stittsville has experienced rapid growth; it transformed from a quiet farming community of under 500 people to a suburb of 20,000, in just over 25 years. Many residents are employed in Ottawa’s high-tech industry or the federal government. Further growth is expected in the near future due to its immense popularity. In the next 10 to 20 years, Stittsville’s population is expected to exceed 30,000. With its many amenities close by to it’s neighborly country atmosphere it is no doubt a great place to call home.
