Bungalows for sale in Manotick range from mid-century village bungalows on Long Island and the older streets, to custom estate bungalows on large treed lots, to newer bungalows and bungalow townhomes in Mahogany. The listings below update automatically from MLS® and cover all five Manotick areas.
Bungalows are some of the most sought-after homes in Manotick, mostly because so many buyers are downsizing within the village and want single-level living. Good ones don’t last long. Below the listings, this guide explains the types of bungalows here, what to check before you buy and how they’re priced.
For all Manotick listings, see Manotick homes for sale. For a breakdown of each area, see the Manotick real estate market guide.

What Types of Bungalows Are in Manotick?
Manotick’s bungalows fall into three groups, and each suits a different buyer.
- Village and Long Island bungalows. Mostly mid-century homes on the older streets, within walking distance of Main Street, the library and Watson’s Mill. Many have been updated over the years; some are original.
- Estate bungalows. Larger custom bungalows on big treed lots in the estate neighbourhoods and rural areas, usually on a private well and septic, often with oversized garages.
- Mahogany bungalows and bungalow townhomes. Newer construction by Minto on central water and sewer, with modern layouts and lower maintenance. See our Mahogany guide.
Lot size, servicing and age vary a lot between these groups, so two bungalows of the same size can be priced very differently.
Who Buys Bungalows in Manotick?
Most bungalow buyers in Manotick fall into three groups.
- Local downsizers. Manotick residents selling a larger family home or estate property who want to stay in the village. They know the area and often move quickly when the right bungalow comes up.
- Buyers planning ahead. People in their fifties and sixties who want main-floor living before they need it.
- Families wanting accessible living. Households with a family member who needs to avoid stairs, or planning for multigenerational living.
Because so many buyers want the same homes, bungalows in good condition and well located often draw more interest than two-storeys in the same area. If you’re downsizing, see our guide to downsizing in Ottawa.

What Should You Check Before Buying a Manotick Bungalow?
My background in the construction and electrical trades shapes what I look for. On older bungalows especially, the systems matter more than the finishes.
- Electrical. Older village bungalows can have original panels, ungrounded outlets or remnants of older wiring. See aluminum wiring and knob-and-tube wiring for what insurers look for.
- Servicing. Confirm whether the home is on city water and sewer or a private well and septic. Our Manotick water and septic guide explains servicing by area.
- Basement moisture. Bungalows have a large basement footprint. Check for water staining, efflorescence and sump pump history.
- Heating fuel. Some older homes still have or had an oil tank. Ask, and read what an oil tank means for a sale.
- Single-level living. If you’re buying for accessibility, check the entry steps, door widths, bathroom layout and whether laundry is on the main floor.
- Radon. Test any home with a basement, following Health Canada’s guidance.
Get Cash Back When You Buy a Home in Ottawa

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.
New or Resale: Bungalows in Mahogany vs the Rest of Manotick
For buyers who want low maintenance, Mahogany’s newer bungalows and bungalow townhomes are an obvious option. You get current building code, modern insulation and windows, central water and sewer, and Tarion warranty coverage on a new or nearly new home.
The trade-offs are smaller lots than most village and estate bungalows, and less mature landscaping. Older village bungalows offer character, larger and treed lots and walkability to the core, but usually need more updating.
If you’re weighing a new build, see new build vs resale and do you need a REALTOR® for new construction. For older homes, our guide to buying an older home covers what to budget for.
How Manotick Bungalows Are Priced
Bungalows are priced like any Manotick home, on recent comparable sales in the same area, adjusted for lot, servicing, condition and updates. Two things make them different.
First, there are fewer of them, so good comparables can be hard to find. A comparative market analysis often has to look back 12 to 24 months. Second, demand from downsizers is steady, so a well-kept, well-located bungalow usually draws strong interest.
If you’re selling a bungalow, timing and presentation matter. Request a free home evaluation or see our Manotick home value guide. Bungalows in Stittsville are another option for many buyers; see bungalows for sale in Stittsville.
Making a Bungalow Work for Aging in Place
Many Manotick bungalow buyers plan to stay for the long term. A few features make that much easier, and some are worth adding before you move in.
- Step-free entry. A ramp or a level entry from the garage avoids future problems.
- A main-floor bathroom that works. A walk-in shower, grab bars and space to turn around.
- Main-floor laundry. Many older bungalows have laundry in the basement; moving it up is a common renovation.
- Wider doorways and good lighting. Simple changes that help at every age.
The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation publishes guidance on accessible and adaptable housing, and the March of Dimes Canada runs a home modification program that may help eligible homeowners with costs.
Bungalow Basements, Radon and Energy Upgrades
Bungalows have large basements and rooflines relative to their living space, so a few systems matter more than in a two-storey.
- Basement moisture. Check for water entry and grading. A dry basement adds usable space for guests or hobbies.
- Radon. A bungalow’s large basement footprint makes radon testing worthwhile. Health Canada recommends a long-term test.
- Attic insulation and windows. Older bungalows often have thin insulation and original windows. Natural Resources Canada has guidance on energy upgrades.
- Electrical. Panel upgrades on older homes should carry Electrical Safety Authority sign-off.
- Well and septic. On private services, read Ontario’s private well guidance and check septic records with the Ottawa Septic System Office.
If you’re downsizing into a bungalow, our guide to downsizing in Manotick covers timing and costs.
Selling a Bungalow in Manotick
If you own a bungalow in Manotick, you’re selling into steady demand. That’s an advantage, but it doesn’t price the home for you.
- Know your buyer. Many bungalow buyers are downsizers. They notice step-free entries, main-floor laundry, a manageable yard and low-maintenance systems.
- Fix what they’ll worry about. Old wiring, a tired roof or windows, and basement moisture are the issues downsizers are least willing to take on.
- Have servicing answers ready. If you’re on a well and septic, recent reports remove a major objection.
- Price on true comparables. Bungalow sales are fewer than two-storey sales, so the comparable set often has to look back further and across more of Manotick.
- Present it well. Bright photos, a floor plan and a decluttered main floor help buyers picture single-level living.
If you’re selling a bungalow to move somewhere easier still, plan the timing carefully. Many bungalow sellers are moving into retirement living or a condo, and a long or flexible closing can make the transition smoother.

Questions to Ask Before Buying a Manotick Bungalow
- How old are the roof, windows, furnace and water heater, and are any rented?
- Has the electrical panel been upgraded, and is there an ESA certificate?
- Has the basement ever taken on water, and is there a sump pump?
- Is the home on city water and sewer, or a well and septic? If private, when were they last tested and inspected?
- Has the home been tested for radon?
- Where is the laundry, and could it move to the main floor?
- Are there any steps at the front or garage entry?
On an older village bungalow, the answers to the first three questions usually decide your renovation budget. On an estate bungalow, servicing matters most. On a Mahogany bungalow or bungalow townhome, ask about the remaining Tarion warranty and any open claims.
Bungalows that check most of these boxes are the ones that sell quickly. If a home falls short on one or two, that’s not necessarily a problem, as long as the price reflects the work and you’ve planned for it. A home inspection by someone familiar with older and rural homes is worth the cost, and your conditions should give you enough time to get quotes for any major items before your offer becomes firm.
If you’re shortlisting several bungalows, compare them on the same points: servicing, the age of major systems, step-free access and distance to the village core. Bungalows in Manotick don’t come up often, so having your comparison ready lets you act quickly when the right one appears.
Buying or Selling a Manotick Bungalow With Jason Polonski
Many bungalow purchases depend on selling a larger home first, often in the same village. The biggest risk is timing, not price. My job is to help you avoid a timing mistake first, then get you the best price. See selling and buying at the same time.
