About

A local guide, built street by street

Who makes this site, how we research it, and how to get a website for your own home.

carlington.homes is an independent guide to Carlington in Ottawa's west end. It is made by a small local team that builds websites for homes that are for sale, with help from local students who visit homes with for-sale signs.

Who we are

Neighbours, not a portal

We are not a real-estate brokerage and we do not represent buyers or sellers. Each home on this site has its own website; the listing agent and brokerage stay the contact for the sale.

How we work

Every fact links to its source: the City of Ottawa, the school boards, the NCC, OC Transpo, OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia and local organizations.
Listing facts and prices come only from REALTOR.ca. Market statistics come from the Ottawa Real Estate Board, quoted with their date.
Neighbourhood photos are free-licence images, credited where they appear and listed below.
Distances are straight-line and say so. Time-sensitive facts such as transit openings and school catchments carry a date and a caveat.

For sellers

Get a website for your home

If your home has a for-sale sign, we can give it its own website: every photo, room sizes, the neighbourhood, schools, commute and open house, on an easy address like 123yourstreet.ca. It links into this guide, so buyers can see the whole area.

We build it first. A student from the neighbourhood shows you your home's finished site on an iPad. You decide if you want it.
You pay $50. We register a short address for your home and host the site while it is for sale.
Share it everywhere. Put the address on your sign rider, in your feature sheet and on social media.
When it sells, the address forwards to this hub's Sold page.

We use your listing's public REALTOR.ca information and photos only with the seller's or listing agent's permission.
