Just across the river in Quebec, often meaning significantly lower prices for a short commute downtown.
Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from downtown Ottawa, formed in 2002 from the merger of Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau, Buckingham, and Masson-Angers — names that now describe distinct sectors rather than separate cities. For buyers willing to cross a provincial border, it often means meaningfully lower prices for a commute that can be shorter than many Ottawa suburbs, plus its own attractions like the Canadian Museum of History and Gatineau Park.
