Characteristics:
Kanata Lakes offers a wide variety of choice for homebuyers, a safe place to raise children, and an atmosphere of living in a community with a golf course. 

The community has a significantly higher than average household income and lower unemployment rate than Ottawa as a whole. It's a short drive to the Kanata North Business Park (“Silicon Valley North”), the largest business park in the National Capital region and home to many of the city’s high-tech companies. (Nortel, Mitel, Alcatel, AMD, Entrust, Quake Technologies, Hewlett Packard and Cisco just to name a few).

With a positive annual population growth rate and new housing and commercial developments  under way, Kanata Lakes is steadily growing, but not at the expense of green space. There are a wealth of parks, wooded areas and walking trails within the community and it's a short walk to the South March Highlands, 600 protected acres of Canadian Shield acquired by the city in 2001.
