Place St. Thomas is the established “anchor” of Embrun’s residential growth—a multi-builder master plan by Valecraft Homes and SACA Homes that has defined the village’s expansion for over a decade. By 2026, it has matured into a 700-home community known for its architectural diversity and family-centric atmosphere. As your Place St. Thomas property management specialists, we are experts in the high-yield secondary dwelling models and premium townhomes that make this neighborhood a standout for investors. Whether you are looking to manage rental property or a tenant searching for a modern home in a neighborhood with a “small-town” soul, we provide the expert local oversight you need.
Strategically located at St. Thomas Road and Lucerne Drive, Place St. Thomas offers a lifestyle rooted in the “Active Rural” philosophy. The community is famous for its wide, safe streetscapes and immediate access to the Embrun Recreational Trail, which residents use year-round for walking, cycling, and cross-country skiing. In 2026, the neighborhood is a favorite for those who value space and community spirit over urban congestion. Life here is defined by convenience; you are a three-minute drive from the Embrun Sports Dome and the local independent retailers of the village core, while being only 10 minutes from the high-octane fun of Calypso Waterpark.
Place St. Thomas is a premier destination for families, thanks to Embrun’s reputation as one of the best places in Ontario to raise children. The community is served by high-performing bilingual schools, including École élémentaire catholique St-Jean and the nearby Embrun Public School. Secondary students benefit from the proximity to École secondaire catholique Embrun, renowned for its community involvement and athletic programs. In 2026, the neighborhood remains a stable rental market due to the high density of young families and the safe, “eyes-on-the-street” design of the parks and playgrounds that dot the development.

The economic appeal of Place St. Thomas is driven by its status as an “Executive Retreat.” With Highway 417 just minutes away, it provides a seamless 25-to-30-minute commute to the downtown Ottawa core and the East-end employment hubs (CSIS, NRC, CMHC). In 2026, the neighborhood has seen a surge in demand from employees of the Amazon Fulfillment Centre (YOW3) and professionals in the healthcare and agricultural tech sectors. This blend of high-earning commuters and local professionals ensures a consistent, high-quality tenant pool that values the “more house for your dollar” advantage that Place St. Thomas offers compared to the Ottawa suburbs.
