Idlewood Lackner Woods is quiet semi-mature east-end suburban neighbourhood located south of Ottawa and immediately west of Lackner Rd. Expressway access is good via Ottawa or Fairway Rd., but there is only one bus route running through this suburb.

The northern and western portions are a fair bit older than the rest. The earliest date from the late 60s into the late 80s. Most of the newer homes were built from 1990 to the mid 2000s but there are a few pockets of still newer homes.

The section immediately south of Ottawa has a number of low rise rentals and semis and some larger apartments on the north west border. But most of the area consists of single detached homes in various sizes, styles and ages. The middle section of Idlewood has some very nice homes on generous lots. Some newer townhouses and condos can be found in the south end.

Idlewood features a lot of greenspace. It’s an absolutely fantastic place for nature lovers with the Grand River so close. Chicopee is a lot of fun and it’s open all year. The local schools overall are quite good as is the grocery selection.
