Renfrew

Located about 90 minutes northwest of Ottawa, Renfrew is a historic town in the heart of the Ottawa Valley. With deep roots in the logging industry, today’s Renfrew combines small-town warmth with outdoor living and community spirit.

Downtown Renfrew features local businesses like Bonnechere Bakery, Finnigan’s Roadhouse, and unique boutiques. The town has multiple parks, river access, and proximity to Calabogie Peaks for year-round recreation.

Real estate options include affordable bungalows, rural acreages, and heritage homes. Families benefit from strong school options and healthcare facilities, including Renfrew Victoria Hospital.

With affordability, character, and a connection to nature, Renfrew is a great option for those looking to slow down — without being far from city services.
