Buy, Sell or Live in Côte-d'Azur
Mature residential neighborhood in central Gatineau, between Boulevard Maloney and Boulevard La Vérendrye. 1960s-1990s bungalows, quiet streets, 15-20 minutes from downtown Ottawa.
Why Côte-d'Azur is appreciated
Côte-d'Azur attracts families looking for an established neighborhood close to services, without paying Aylmer, Plateau, or Ottawa prices. Most properties are bungalows and split-levels, often on lots of 4,000 to 6,000 sq ft. The area remains one of the most accessible parts of central Gatineau to step into a single-family home — and increasingly popular with cross-river buyers from Ottawa.
Who it's for
Côte-d'Azur is ideal for…
Families
Quiet neighborhood with English-friendly schools, parks and services within walking distance. Stable community where many residents have lived 20-30 years.
First-time buyers
Bungalows starting around $500,000 — accessible entry into the Gatineau single-family market without commuting from far suburbs.
Retirees
Single-floor living with no stairs, services and pharmacy on Maloney, peaceful streets. Ideal for aging in place.
Ottawa relocators
Cross-river buyers from Ottawa looking for more space, a mature neighborhood, and meaningful savings. Quick commute via Highway 50 and the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge.
Resale buyers
1960s-1980s bungalows with solid bones: lot, brick, structure. Real appreciation potential with a well-executed kitchen and bathroom renovation.

Get my value →My take on Côte-d'Azur
What I'm seeing in Côte-d'Azur right now: buyers have more options than before, so an efficient listing strategy at the right price has become critical. Most of my buyers in this area are families looking for a mature, family-friendly neighborhood — many of them coming from across the river in Ottawa, where comparable bungalows often start around $780,000. The area is in high demand, and the buyers who discover it love it.
My advice to Côte-d'Azur owners thinking about selling: prep your home properly, fix the small details that make a difference, and list at the right price from day one. Without that, you won't maximize your final sale price and the listing takes longer.
