Family Focused Schools
Avalon Public School and Summerside Public School anchor the community, with Catholic and French language options nearby for families who want them.
Everyday Convenience
The Innes Road corridor and RioCan Orléans at Tenth Line Road cover groceries, big box shopping and dining without a trip across the city.
Recreation on Tap
Millennium Park's soccer fields and running track sit alongside the François Dupuis Recreation Centre, home to a six lane pool and full fitness facility.

A Master-Planned Community in South Orleans
Avalon sits in the south east corner of Orleans, bordered by Mer Bleue Road to the west, Innes Road to the north, Portobello Boulevard and Trim Road to the east, and Wall Road to the south. What started as farmland in the late 1990s is now home to more than 5,000 households, and the community is still growing, with Avalon West bringing newer townhomes to the eastern edge.
Buyers will find a mix of detached homes and townhomes across a handful of distinct sub-areas within Avalon. Avalon Aquaview and Avalon Encore, both largely built out, offer established streets around a community pond and park system. Avalon Vista and the newer Avalon West continue to add fresh inventory for buyers who want the newest finishes available in the neighbourhood.
Compared to the mature, tree-lined streets of Convent Glen or Chapel Hill, Avalon's streetscape is younger and its canopy still filling in, but that trade-off comes with wider roads, modern layouts and some of the newest homes available anywhere in Orleans. If a single-level home fits your plans better, have a look at Orleans bungalows for sale for options across the wider community.

Avalon Homes — FAQ
What is the average price of a home in Avalon?
Homes in Avalon generally range from the mid $500,000s for townhomes to over $1,000,000 for larger detached homes in newer sections like Avalon West. Because the community is still building out, pricing can vary quite a bit block to block depending on the age of construction.
What neighbourhoods make up Avalon?
Avalon is made up of Avalon Aquaview, Avalon Encore, Avalon Vista and the newer Avalon West. Aquaview and Encore are largely built out around the community's parks and pond, while Vista and West continue to add new construction.
Is Avalon a good area for families?
Yes. Avalon was designed as a family-first community, with Avalon Public School and Summerside Public School close by, along with Catholic and French language options nearby. Parks, splash pads and sports fields are within walking distance of most homes, and the François Dupuis Recreation Centre adds indoor programming and a pool.
How long is the commute from Avalon to downtown Ottawa?
Downtown Ottawa is roughly 30 minutes from Avalon outside peak hours. The Millennium Park and Ride offers transit access today, and a rapid transit station planned for Tenth Line Road should improve options further.
Should I buy in Avalon or an older part of Orleans?
It depends on what you're after. Avalon offers newer construction, modern floor plans and lower near-term maintenance, while older pockets like Convent Glen or Chapel Hill offer mature trees, larger lots and an established streetscape. Both are strong options in Orleans, and the right fit comes down to priorities like age of home versus character of the neighbourhood.
