Buy, Sell or Live in Limbour
Modern family neighbourhood in the Gatineau sector, near Hôpital de Gatineau and Highway 50. 2000s-2020s homes, parks, trails, about 12 km from downtown Ottawa.
Is Limbour a good neighbourhood for families?
Yes. The neighbourhood was planned for families, with loop streets and cul-de-sacs that keep through traffic down, parks and trails built into the development. French elementary schools of the Centre de services scolaire des Draveurs are nearby. In Ferme Limbour, properties are larger and higher-end.
What kind of homes are in Limbour?
Mostly two-storey single-family homes with a garage, built between 2000 and 2020, plus townhomes and some semi-detached homes. The basement is often finished or ready to finish.
For a buyer, that means recent materials, insulation and mechanical systems, so few major renovations compared to older areas like Côte-d'Azur. Lots are already landscaped and parks are mature. In Ferme Limbour, lots are larger and often wooded.
Limbour, Aylmer, the Plateau or Masson-Angers: which one should I choose?
Limbour offers recent homes at a more accessible price than Aylmer or the Plateau. It is also closer to Ottawa than Masson-Angers: about 12 km from downtown by road, compared with about 36 km from Masson-Angers.
If you want a move-in ready home in an established neighbourhood without over-leveraging, Limbour is often the right compromise. For the shops of Old Aylmer, look at Aylmer instead. Masson-Angers is a better fit if you prefer a customized new build and the commute matters less.

What I look at in Limbour: I compare with sales in the same sub-sector, Ferme Limbour or the rest of the neighbourhood, before talking price.
My advice to Limbour owners thinking about selling: don't underestimate the impact of your sub-sector on your final price. List at the right price for your zone, not an average for the whole neighbourhood.
