Kemptville Real Estate

Economic

Kemptville’s key industries include technology, agriculture, tourism, transportation, and manufacturing. Besides production, the agriculture industry in and around the city involves genetics services, input companies, and marketing. The Kemptville Centre for Rural Advancement is a new multi-building facility with a focus on improving the economic viability of rural communities. The tourism industry involves restaurants, accommodations, service providers, and local shops. Kemptville’s location makes it a strategic choice for transportation services, as the city has easy access to the Canada/U.S. border, as well as the major city of Ottawa.

North Grenville Economic Development provides information, resources, support, marketing, and networking opportunities for local businesses, large and small.

Real Estate Market

Kemptville’s northern section has mostly single-family homes with low to mid-range prices. Most of these are on large lots, sometimes with a more rural feel. There are some older condo options available as well in this section, at affordable prices.

In the central section, single-family homes range in size and price. Smaller homes with less land offer affordable options, while larger homes on sprawling lots come in at a higher price point. There is plenty of vacant land available in this section, with prices depending on location and size. Commercial property and reasonably priced condo options can also be found here.

The majority of the real estate in the southern section of the city is single-family homes, normally at mid-range prices. Lot sizes are a bit smaller closer to the central section, and tend to be larger along the edges of the city. Vacant land can also be found in this section.

Education

Schools in Kemptville include Holy Cross School, Kemptville Public School, St. Michael Catholic High School, North Grenville District High School, Madison Montessori Academy, South Branch Elementary School, École élémentaire publique Rivière-Rideau, and Ecole Saint Margerite Bourgeois. Other options can be found in nearby communities and include Centennial School, Oxford-on-Rideau Public School, Nationview Public School, and Inkerman Public School.

There are no post-secondary options in the city, so residents must travel to nearby communities to access options such as Algonquin College, Willis College, Carleton University, and the University of Ottawa.
