An Ottawa neighbourhood where a walkable village meets a riverfront beach.
Westboro stretches along the south bank of the Ottawa River, bordered roughly by Tweedsmuir Avenue, Carling Avenue, and Denbury Avenue. The community is anchored by Richmond Road, a thriving main street lined with cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and outdoor outfitters. Westboro homes for sale and Westboro homes for rent appeal to families, professionals, and downsizers looking for an upscale urban village feel.
A mature, family-oriented community with a strong main street.
Roughly seven in ten homes are detached, most built between 1900 and 1960, with mature trees and tidy front yards. New infill houses and luxury condominium projects have added density in recent years, giving the neighbourhood a wider mix of housing options than many Ottawa villages.
Active, outdoorsy, and shaped by the river.
Westboro Beach offers swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and patio dining all summer. Hampton Park and Westboro Kiwanis Park add wading pools, playgrounds, sports courts, and a winter skating rink, while the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway pathway and the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail connect residents to downtown by bike, foot, ski, or snowshoe.
Unexpected Appeal:
A river beach, a winter ski trail, and a vibrant village main street all sit within the same neighbourhood.
A premium central market with strong, consistent demand.
Housing options range from heritage century homes and 20th century bungalows to large infill builds, modern townhomes, and luxury condominium towers along Richmond Road. Buyers include established families, dual-income professionals, and downsizers trading in larger suburban homes for walkable river-side living.
A neighbourhood where you can swim in the river, ski to downtown, and brunch on the main street.
Westboro lets residents combine outdoor recreation, café and restaurant culture, and a strong community calendar in one compact, walkable area. Downtown Ottawa, Gatineau, and Kanata are all short drives away, while Wellington Village and Hintonburg add even more to the neighbourhood food and shopping scene. It is one of the most distinctive places to live in the National Capital Region.
