Commuters & hybrid workers

Work in Ottawa or Montreal? Live in Cornwall.

Cornwall sits about an hour from Ottawa and a little over an hour from Montreal. If you commute a few days a week, or work from home, your budget can go a lot further here.

The trade-off that works for many families

A hybrid schedule makes a longer drive easier, and Cornwall typically offers more space, a yard and a lower price than comparable homes in Ottawa or Montreal. The riverfront, parks and the Waterfront Trail are a big bonus.

Getting around

Highway 401 runs through Cornwall, with Highway 138 north to the 417 for Ottawa and the 401/20 east to Montreal. VIA Rail serves Cornwall on the Toronto–Montreal corridor. I’ll help you test the commute from any home you like at your actual travel times.

Working in Quebec, living in Ontario?

If you’ll work in Quebec and live in Ontario, talk to an accountant about how income tax and health coverage work across the provincial border before you buy.
