Ironwood in Riverside South: Room to Grow Beside the LRT

What is Ironwood?

Ironwood is Cardel's community in Riverside South — offering single-family homes and Executive and Essential Townhomes, in the south Ottawa neighbourhood that's spent the past few years turning its master plan into reality. With floorplans from 1,483 to 2,664 square feet across twelve single-family and five townhome designs, Ironwood covers the full arc from first town to forever single.

What makes Riverside South the location to watch?

Three things, all delivered rather than promised:

• The LRT is running. Limebank Station connects Riverside South to the O-Train network — providing rail access to downtown, plus Line 4's airport link.
• Nature is all around. The Rideau River flows alongside the community, with Beryl Gaffney Park, the Chapman Mills Conservation Area and a dedicated dog park adding to the area’s greenspace.
• Amenities are next door. Metro and FreshCo handle groceries close by; Barrhaven's Costco, Home Depot and full retail cluster sit minutes away; Manotick's village charm is down River Road.

Schools are already here. Riverside South is home to established public and Catholic schools, along with the new Riverside South Secondary School, which opened in September 2025 and will expand to Grades 7–12 by 2027.

What homes can you build at Ironwood?

Ironwood's range is the point:

• Essential Towns — smartly designed townhomes that open the community to first-time buyers
• Executive Towns — more space, more layout options and a more attainable alternative to a single-family home
• Single-family homes — twelve floorplans up to 2,664 square feet, with the layouts, garages and yards that family life in Riverside South is built around

Every home is personalized through our Design Centre with professional guidance — and backed by Cardel's more than 50 years of homebuilding experience.

Who is Ironwood best for?

Commuters who want the train. Families who want schools and river trails. Buyers who want easy access to Barrhaven's amenities while living in Riverside South. And anyone who's watched Ottawa's growth corridors long enough to know the appeal of a new community beside new rail.

The bottom line: growth you can move into

Riverside South spent a decade building its foundations — transit, schools, parks, retail. Ironwood is your way into an established community that's still growing, with a home built to your choices at the centre of it.
