Stunning Luxury Townhome in Richardson Ridge.
Richardson Ridge is indisputably one of Ottawa’s most stunning production home communities. Built on a rocky escarpment overlooking the Carp River valley, Richardson ridge is known for its dramatic elevation & grading changes, including some of the highest-elevation areas in Kanata Lakes, at over 130 metres above sea level. Bordered on three sides by a 6 metre nature preserve, the Kizell Pond wetlands, and the Carp River valley, Richardson Ridge is literally surrounded by nature. And if all of this wasn’t enough, Richardson Ridge is just a quick drive away from local amenities at Kanata Centrum, including shops, restaurants, and a Cineplex Cinemas, as well as Tanger Outlets, Richcraft Recreation Complex, and the Canadian Tire Centre. Richardson Ridge is also within the school zone of top local schools, including Earl of March S.S.
