Homes in Barrhaven
What the local housing means for bathrooms.
Old Barrhaven was started in the 1960s by developer Mel Barr. Longfields was mostly built from the early 1990s, Stonebridge from 2000, and Barrhaven South and Half Moon Bay after 2006, on what the City described in 2006 as farmland.
- Homes in Longfields and the earlier parts of Stonebridge are roughly 20 to 35 years old, an age when original cabinets, counters, tubs and vanities are often replaced.
- Detached, semi-detached and townhouse homes are the types the City allows to host a secondary suite, which makes a basement suite worth considering.
- On townhouse streets with small yards, a rear deck is the main way to add outdoor space; additions are more realistic on detached lots.
Permits and approvals
What to check in Barrhaven before bathrooms work starts. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your address.
Building permits
The City generally requires a building permit to finish a basement, move or remove walls, alter plumbing, add or enlarge windows and doors, and build an addition. Replacing kitchen cabinets without moving plumbing fixtures usually does not need one. Electrical work is inspected separately by the Electrical Safety Authority.
