Hunt Club is a well-established south Ottawa neighbourhood with a mix of 1970s-1990s homes, townhouses, and some newer developments. With easy access to the Airport Parkway and Hunt Club Road, the area is convenient for commuters. Hunt Club's mature housing stock offers excellent renovation potential at mid-range price points.
