WESTBORO

Located along the Ottawa River, Westboro has become one of the most desirable and sought-after neighbourhoods in which to live. Also referred to as Westboro Village, the country charm of this popular community can be seen through its picturesque views of the Gatineau Hills, and the character homes of post-war and 20th century on traditional tree- lined streets. The gathering place in this community is on Richmond Road where many shopping and dining experiences can be had. Outdoor recreation is a big past time here being by the Ottawa River, and evident by the many outdoor sporting goods stores in the area including Mountain Equipment Co-op.

THEGLEBE The Glebe is one of Ottawa’s affluent neighbourhoods with beautiful tree-lined streets and large colonial style homes and newer modern structures. The Glebe and Old Ottawa South are conveniently located close to downtown, and to the east hug the famous Rideau Canal where residents and visitors can enjoy cycling, running, and boating, and ice skating in the winter. Bank Street is a popular place in both communities where many residents have access to unique shops, cafes, global cuisine, and antique stores. The communities are also very student friendly with Carleton University being located in Old Ottawa South. The new addition of a walking and cycling bridge at Fifth Avenue gives residents easy access to Old Ottawa East on the other side of the Rideau Canal.
