Bungalows for sale in Kanata are among the community’s most sought-after and scarce homes, prized for single-level living, larger lots, and no-stairs accessibility. They command a premium over comparable two-storey homes because demand from downsizers, retirees, and buyers planning to age in place consistently outpaces the limited supply. As of mid-2026, most Kanata bungalows sell well into the detached-home price range, commonly from the low-$700,000s upward depending on size, age, lot, and whether the lower level is finished or walks out.
Below you’ll find every active bungalow listing in Kanata, updated throughout the day. Because true bungalows come to market infrequently here, the guide underneath covers who they suit, what drives the price, where to find them, and what to check before you buy — especially on older homes, where my trades background does real work.

Why bungalows carry a premium in Kanata
A bungalow puts all the main living space on one floor, and that single feature drives outsized demand. It removes stairs for buyers thinking about mobility now or later; it lives larger than its square footage suggests, and it usually sits on a wider lot than a comparable two-storey — because a single-storey footprint simply takes more land. Ottawa’s single-family detached average sat near $825,000 in mid-2026 per the Ottawa Real Estate Board, and bungalows frequently price at or above that within a given community.
Supply is the other half of the story. Much of Kanata’s growth has been two-storey singles, townhomes, and condos, so bungalows are a small slice of the housing stock. Demand, meanwhile, keeps building: Statistics Canada tracks a steadily aging population across the Ottawa region, and single-level homes are exactly what a large cohort of downsizers is competing for. When a good Kanata bungalow lists, it tends to draw attention quickly, so being pre-approved and ready to view matters more here than on higher-supply property types.
Who buys a bungalow in Kanata?
The demand comes from a few clear groups, and I match my approach to which one you’re in.
Downsizers leaving a larger family home want to stay in the community they know without the stairs and upkeep — often selling a two-storey to move into a bungalow within a few kilometres. Retirees and buyers planning to age in place value single-level living and the option to add accessibility features; if that’s your stage of life, theIs Kanata a good place to retire guide is worth reading. Families sometimes choose a bungalow for the open, ranch-style layout and a finished lower level as flexible space. And buyers wanting a walkout or in-law suite are after the multi-generational flexibility a single-level home with a bright lower level can offer.
If you’re downsizing and selling a Kanata home to do it, the selling your home in Kanata guide is the right starting point, because for most bungalow buyers the sale and the purchase happen together.

Full MLS® and REALTOR.ca exposure, professional photography, powerful online marketing, expert pricing, and a skilled negotiator fighting for every dollar of your sale price. Top-tier service — you just keep thousands more when your home sells. Smart sellers are already making the switch. Your home deserves the best, and your wallet deserves a break.
Where to find bungalows in Kanata
Bungalows turn up in a few predictable places here. The mature, established neighbourhoods hold many of the community’s original single-storey homes — Beaverbrook, Kanata’s first planned community, and parts of Glen Cairn and Katimavik include bungalows on generous, tree-lined lots with renovation upside. Higher-end and custom bungalows appear around Kanata Lakes and the west end, some on premium lots near golf and green space. You’ll also find bungalow-lofts that add a partial second level over part of the home.
Because they’re spread thin, I set up alerts across every pocket rather than watching one, and I keep an ear out for homes before they hit the public feed. You can compare the neighbourhoods on the best neighbourhoods in Kanata guide and the Beaverbrook and Kanata Lakes community pages.
Get Cash Back When You Buy a Home in Ottawa
Can you get cash back when buying a home in Ottawa? Yes. Jason Polonski, a Chairman's Club REALTOR® serving Ottawa and Kanata, shares part of his commission with buyers — up to $3,000 cash back at closing.* You still get full-service, award-winning representation: expert pricing, sharp negotiation, and hands-on guidance from first showing to keys in hand. No cut corners and no rebate-only shortcuts — just real money back in your pocket when you buy your Ottawa or Kanata home.
The trades-eye read on a bungalow — especially an older one
This is where my construction and electrical background earns its keep, because Kanata’s best-value bungalows are often its older ones, and older homes reward a careful eye.
On an older bungalow I look hard at the electrical — the panel size, whether there’s any aluminum or older wiring, and whether past work went through an Electrical Safety Authority permit — because upgrading a service or rewiring is real money. I check the foundation and grading, the age of the roof and windows, and whether the basement has been finished in a way that traps moisture. And on any bungalow with a basement or slab-on-grade, I talk about radon: Ottawa sits in an area where Health Canada recommends every home be tested, and single-storey homes with significant ground contact are worth a test and, if needed, a straightforward mitigation.
If a bungalow needs work, the renovating your Kanata home guide covers what’s realistic. None of this is meant to scare you off an older bungalow — the opposite. Knowing what a home actually needs is how you buy the well-located one with upside instead of overpaying for cosmetics.
Bungalows, accessibility, and aging in place
If you’re buying with the next twenty years in mind, a bungalow is the strongest starting point, and small choices at purchase make later changes easier. Wider hallways and doorways, a main-floor primary suite and laundry, a low or zero-step entry, and a bathroom that can take grab bars down the road all matter. Federal and provincial programs periodically support home accessibility improvements — the Government of Canada’s accessibility resources are worth reviewing, and I can point you to what’s current. When I walk a bungalow with an aging-in-place buyer, I’m reading the layout for what it can become, not just what it is today.
Timing a bungalow purchase with your sale
Almost every bungalow buyer I work with is selling something first — usually a larger home in Kanata or the west end. Because good bungalows are scarce and can move quickly, the timing question is real: do you sell first and risk missing the right bungalow, or buy first and carry two homes briefly? The answer depends on your equity and financing, with rates tracked by the Bank of Canada, and getting it wrong is the expensive mistake.
My job is to sequence the sale and the purchase so you’re protected on timing first and optimized on price second. Get current on the numbers on the Kanata real estate trends page, see national context from the Canadian Real Estate Association and mortgage-side data from CMHC, and browse all houses for sale in Kanata or the Kanata real estate guide for the full picture.
If a bungalow is hard to find, you can also compare Kanata condos and townhomes, explore houses in Kanata North, or see homes priced under $500,000. Browse the active bungalow listings above, and set up an alert with me so you hear about the right one early — with this property type, being first to view is often what wins it.

Why work with Jason Polonski
I’m Jason Polonski, a full-time REALTOR® with Right at Home Realty and a Kanata specialist with 15+ years of experience and hundreds of buyers and sellers behind me across the West End. My background is built for exactly this kind of purchase: a Bachelor of Commerce with a double major in Marketing and Finance from Concordia University, combined with real construction and electrical trades experience and a technical diploma in Construction Electricity.
On a bungalow — especially an older one with upside — that means I can tell you what the home is worth and what it will truly cost to bring up to date, from the panel to the roof to a radon test. I work as a move coordinator, leading with a plan rather than a listing pitch, because my job is to help you avoid a timing mistake first and optimize price second. That approach is reflected in recognition, including the Best in Ottawa Top REALTOR® award (2026, seven years running). Learn more about how I work or reach me any day of the week.
Bungalows for Sale in Kanata (FAQs)
As of mid-2026, most Kanata bungalows sell from the low-$700,000s upward, often at or above the detached-home average, because single-level homes are in short supply and in high demand. Price varies with lot size, age, and whether the lower level is finished or walks out. Verify current figures against the latest OREB data.
A bungalow places all main living space on one floor, which requires a larger lot and delivers stairs-free living that many buyers will pay a premium for. Limited supply in Kanata, where most newer construction is two-storey or condo, pushes bungalow prices higher still.
No — bungalows are a small share of Kanata’s housing stock, since most of the community’s growth has been two-storey singles, townhomes, and condos. Good ones list infrequently and can sell quickly, so setting up alerts and being pre-approved matters.
Mature neighbourhoods like Beaverbrook, Glen Cairn, and Katimavik hold many of Kanata’s original single-storey homes, while higher-end and custom bungalows appear around Kanata Lakes and the west end. You’ll also find bungalow-lofts in several pockets.
Yes — single-level living with no stairs is the strongest starting point for aging in place. Look for a main-floor primary suite and laundry, a low-step entry, and a bathroom that can accommodate future grab bars.
Yes. Health Canada recommends testing every home, and single-storey homes with significant ground contact are worth a radon test, with straightforward mitigation available if levels are high. It’s a simple check I raise with every bungalow buyer.
