Russell Trails was launched by Tartan Homes in the village of Russell last year with great success. Many homebuyers are moving to the outskirts of Ottawa because homes are roughly $100,000 less than a similar model in the city. Homebuyers are attracted to this area because it’s a quick 20-minute drive from downtown Ottawa and only slightly further than the suburbs of Kanata and Orleans. Plus, Russell is easily accessible by OC Transpo and the nearby Highway 417.

Located southeast of downtown Ottawa, Russell is an historic, scenic and bustling village nestled along the banks of the Castor River. First settled in 1845, Russell is a thriving, familyfriendly community. Russell’s largest appeal is its sense of community. This is a family-friendly neighbourhood with three elementary and two secondary schools. There are many sports facilities and recreation centres, as well as conservation areas, paths and trails all around. The village has plenty of amenities, which makes this town ideal for families and downsizers alike. Russell is the perfect combination of historic village charm and modern convenience.

Russell Trails has many two-storey single-family home floorplans and brand new bungalow floorplans all on 50-ft. lots. Plus, there are also semi-detached bungalows available.

Buyers appreciate Tartan Homes because these houses are built better, look better and live better than many other homes on the market today. Founded by Wes Nicol in 1966, Tartan rapidly became an Ottawa leader in community development and home construction. Today, under the direction of Wes’ sons, Ian and Bruce, Tartan is more active in building superior homes and developing popular communities than at any other time in its history.
