About this episode

Amanda shares her journey of moving from Ottawa to Westport and discovering a walkable community.

What does it take to leave the city and start a new chapter in a small town? In this episode of Watercolour Westport Stories , Amanda, a recent homeowner, shares the journey that led from a multi-level house in Ottawa to a richer, more connected life in Westport. Having never been to Westport before and looking at many other builders and communities, they discovered the hidden gem of Watercolour: a walkable community, nearby trails, local shops, and a pace of life that just felt right. It’s a thoughtful conversation about change, community connections, and discovering that sometimes the place you didn’t expect can feel the most like home. _______________________ Connect with Us!
