Top 5 Reasons to Live in Chelsea (in no particular order)

  1. No traffic! A quick commute to the city – often less than 15 minutes.

  2. Excellent elementary schools in both official languages as well as Montessori schools and a forest preschool.

  3. Proximity to Gatineau Park, Canada’s second most-visited park and a paradise for those who love to bike, ski, hike and enjoy nature.

  4. A fantastic central village. If you love great restaurants, amazing coffee shops, pubs, ice cream, and more, the village of Chelsea, at the gateway to the Gatineau Park, provides amazing local flavour

  5. More land, bigger houses, lower prices – for a closer commute than many bedroom neighbourhoods like Aylmer, Kanata, Orleans, you get so much more land for your money.
