Buckingham pairs small-town ease with city access on the banks of the Lièvre River. Once a mill hub, today its red-brick storefronts and cafés along avenue de Buckingham frame a walkable main street, with the river and footbridges never far away. Commuters appreciate quick connections to Gatineau via Autoroute 50 and direct bus service from the Société de transport de l’Outaouais, putting downtown Ottawa within practical reach for work or entertainment. Parc Maclaren’s waterfall, riverside lawns, and seasonal events give weekends an easy soundtrack.
Families value the education options, from French programs under the Centre de services scolaire des Draveurs to English at Buckingham Elementary School. Active days unfold at Centre sportif Buckingham’s ice rink and gymnasiums, and book lovers browse the Bibliothèque de Buckingham branch. Health care is close by at the Hôpital de Papineau, while nearby Masson-Angers adds more shops, services, and riverfront paths. For bigger nature, the trail networks and lookouts of Gatineau Park are just a short drive away.
Whether you’re upsizing, rightsizing, or relocating to be closer to the river, Buckingham offers the breathing room of a smaller centre with the conveniences of a connected city.
