Cantley is one of the most dynamic residential areas in the Outaouais. Many homes here were built from the 1990s onward, on large lots, often in wooded settings. This semi-rural reality brings its own particularities to check before you buy.
Cantley’s building stock
- Recent single-family homes on large lots
- Basements and foundations often set on bedrock
- Water supplied by private well rather than municipal service
- Wastewater treated by a septic system
Common issues in Cantley
A private well for water and a septic system for wastewater call for attention that urban properties do not require. The presence of bedrock, common in the area, also raises the question of radon, a gas worth testing. Drainage on large lots also deserves a look.
