The neighbourhoods around the centre of town have been around
for a long time, while the newer communities tend to extend
to the east and north-west. Domain Champlain to the east, nestled
against a large park of the same name, offers single-family,
semi-detached and townhomes beginning at $89,000. Not far away
is Village Eardley with semi-detached homes running $90,000
to $115,000. To the south of Chemin d'Aylmer is Parc Rivermead,
close to the golf course, with larger homes running $205,000
to $275,000. The new neighbourhood of Quatre Saisons, near Wychwood
offers larger homes close to the Ottawa River from $125,000.
North of the Boulevard de l'Outaouais, is the community of Les
Jardins Lavigne with single-family and semi-detached homes for
$99,000 to $179,000.
Aylmer has 5 Catholic and 3 public elementary schools, a Catholic
high school, and a public library. It is remote to Ottawa-based
post-secondary institutions, but is just down the road from
the Université du Quebec à Hull.
The community has a number of shopping malls and plazas clustered
along Rue Principale / Chemin d'Ayulmer, just east of town centre.
The Boulevard de l'Outaouais expressway makes residents readily
accessible to Hull's larger shopping malls.
The community has 5 golf courses, a beach, a marina, an ice
arena, and several museums and historical homes. The community
is connected via the NCC bike path network to Gatineau Park
and to Ottawa's various attractions and venues.
