Buckingham, the eastern sector of Gatineau, is one of the oldest settled cores in the Outaouais. Its rich industrial past along the Lièvre River left behind a housing stock full of character, one that calls for an eye used to older buildings.
A sector with historic buildings
- Century-old homes and character residences in the centre
- Period buildings with original components
- Established residential neighbourhoods and newer developments on the outskirts
- Properties near the Lièvre River
Common issues in Buckingham
In a sector this old, we often see electrical systems from another generation, stone or block foundations, roofs near the end of their life and moisture concerns. Our article on older homes in Hull and Aylmer covers several of these realities, which apply to Buckingham as well.
