Barrhaven Homes for Sale

What and where Barrhaven is

Barrhaven’s edges are the Greenbelt to the north, the Rideau River to the east, Highway 416 to the west and, to the south, the Half Moon Bay development along Cambrian Road beyond the Jock River. CN rail tracks cross it on a diagonal. Across the Rideau River is Riverside South, and directly south is the village of Manotick.

How to get around Barrhaven

Barrhaven is served by buses on the Transitway and sits next to the end of the O-Train’s Line 2.

• Strandherd station and Park & Ride, opened by OC Transpo on January 2, 2007, across from the Chapman Mills Marketplace, with room for about 330 cars.
• Limebank station, the southern end of Line 2, is very near Barrhaven. Line 2 reopened on January 6, 2025, and runs 19 km north to Bayview every 12 minutes.
• Line 1 at Tunney’s Pasture, reached by Transitway routes 74 and 75, and at rush hour by routes 275, 277 and 279.
• Via Rail at Fallowfield station, at Fallowfield Road and Woodroffe Avenue, with trains to Montreal and Toronto.

The main roads are Greenbank Road, Strandherd Drive, Woodroffe Avenue, Fallowfield Road, Jockvale Road and Prince of Wales Drive, with Highway 416 on the west side. No O-Train line runs into Barrhaven itself: an extension appears only in the City’s proposed Stage 3 plans.
