Frequently asked questions

What types of homes are available in Hintonburg?

A real mix. There are older wartime and early-1900s houses, a lot of modern infill such as semis, townhomes and small multi-unit buildings, and condos near Wellington Street West, Parkdale and the transit stations. It's one of the easier central neighbourhoods to find a newer townhome in.

Is Hintonburg still changing?

Yes. The area around Tunney's Pasture and Bayview stations is expected to see a lot more density over the next decade, and infill keeps replacing older houses on side streets. That means more amenities over time, and also more construction nearby. Check what's planned around any home you're considering.

How is transit in Hintonburg?

Excellent. Tunney's Pasture and Bayview are both on O-Train Line 1, and Bayview also connects to Line 2. The Ottawa River pathway is close for biking, and downtown is a short ride away.

Is Hintonburg good for first-time buyers?

It's popular with first-time buyers who want a walkable neighbourhood with character. Condos and infill townhomes are the most common entry points. Wellington Street West has the restaurants, shops and the Parkdale Market that make it feel like a neighbourhood rather than just a place close to downtown.

How does Hintonburg compare to Centretown?

Hintonburg is just west of Centretown. Both are walkable and both are on O-Train Line 1. Centretown is more central and condo-heavy. Hintonburg has more of a neighbourhood feel, with independent shops and restaurants on Wellington Street West, the Parkdale Market, and a lot of new townhomes and infill mixed with older houses. If you want a townhome or small house with character near downtown, Hintonburg often gives you more options than Centretown.
