Island Park homes for sale don’t come up often. The neighbourhood is small, centred on the tree-lined Island Park Drive between the Ottawa River and the Queensway, and many owners stay for decades. Browse current listings below, then read on for what to know before you buy here. For a full neighbourhood overview, see Jason’s Island Park neighbourhood guide.

What Homes in Island Park Are Like
Island Park is known for large detached homes on generous, mature lots, many built in the first half of the 20th century. Styles range from brick and stone revival homes to postwar designs, with some updated and expanded homes and newer infill on the side streets.
- Island Park Drive: the signature street, a landscaped parkway with some of the largest homes in the area
- Side streets: detached homes of varied age and size, often a slightly lower entry point
- Nearby: semi-detached homes, townhomes and condos in the surrounding Wellington West and Westboro areas
What Affects Prices in Island Park
Island Park homes generally sell at the upper end of the Ottawa market, but values vary a lot from house to house. The main factors are:
- Frontage on Island Park Drive versus a side street
- Lot size and the mature trees on it
- Condition, and how much of the original house has been updated
- Architecture and character
- Proximity to the river, the parkway and the Wellington West shops
Because few homes sell each year, broad averages can mislead. Jason prepares a comparable sales analysis for any home you’re considering.

Heritage Review
The City of Ottawa has identified Island Park Drive as one of several areas for a heritage conservation district study. If a district is created under the Ontario Heritage Act, exterior changes, additions and demolitions may need a heritage permit. This can protect the street’s character, which many buyers value, but it can also limit future plans. Check the current status with the City’s heritage services, and read Jason’s guide to buying a heritage home in Ottawa.
What to Check Before You Buy
- Systems in older homes: electrical, plumbing, heating and the sewer line
- Foundations and basements: water, cracks and ceiling height
- Trees: large trees are protected under the City’s tree rules, which can affect additions and pools
- Zoning: Ottawa’s new zoning by-law changes what can be built on some lots; check development applications nearby
- Closing costs: budget for Ontario’s land transfer tax
