Identifying Carriage Trade Properties
Other than the price of the property, there are a few ways to identify which homes in Ottawa are dignified Carriage Trade Properties. Each Carriage Trade listing will have a sleek black sign that notes the home is marketed as Carriage Trade. You can also locate all of our Carriage Trade listings on Carriage Trade Luxury Properties for a defined list of available properties in Ottawa, the surrounding areas and across Canada.

Carriage Trade Communities
Ottawa has many different luxury listings located all throughout the city. Communities can have an impact on the home being listed as Carriage Trade, however, location is not always a requirement. As more homes are being built and remodeled to reach this status, luxury homes are no longer found in just a few select communities. Today, Carriage Trade homes are listed in the Glebe, Sandy Hill, Barrhaven, Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, Carleton Place, Manotick, and many other pockets throughout the city and outlier communities.
