Orleans Homes For Sale Community Location |

Orleans, Ontario
Orléans is known for being one of the wealthiest suburbs in Ottawa, with its
big houses and city-renowned schools. Orléans continues to have a sizeable
French-speaking population, although the proportion of francophones has been
decreasing in recent years. The community's name is officially spelled with
an acute accent in both English and French, reflective of the area's
francophone heritage. The traditional centre of the area has been the Place
d'Orleans shopping centre, a large shopping centre (with over 175 stores)
just off the Queensway, although new business areas on Innes Road at Tenth
Line Road and in the vicinity of Trim Road on the eastern end of the area
have also been built recently. The country-wide housing boom starting from
2000 has also seen an extremely large amount of housing and residential
areas being developed in the eastern Orléans area east of Trim Road and
south of Innes Road. The Elizabeth Manley skating rink at the Orléans
Sportsplex is named for Ms. Manley who trained there and who won a Silver
Medal in Women's figure skating in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
