Whitehaven, Woodpark, and Glabar Park are three small, adjacent neighbourhoods in west-end Ottawa, Ontario. The communities sit in Bay Ward between Carling Avenue, Highway 417, the parkway, and Maitland Avenue.
Mature tree-lined streets, large lots and single-family homes, close to Carlingwood Mall, easy Ottawa River parkway access, and quick downtown commutes
Three adjacent west-end Ottawa pockets where mid-century homes sit on generous lots under mature trees
A balanced mix of established families, professionals, and long-time residents drawn to quiet residential streets
The Ottawa River parkway, the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail, and small neighbourhood parks frame everyday outdoor recreation
Three distinct neighbourhoods packed into a compact corner of the city, each with its own street grid and character
Mostly single detached homes from the 1950s and 1960s, complemented by newer infill builds and occasional low-rise condos
Carlingwood Mall, Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre, and the IKEA Pinecrest area are all within a short drive
Three quiet west-end Ottawa pockets with mature streets and easy reach to the river.
Whitehaven sits south of Carling Avenue between Woodroffe and the Transitway, Woodpark runs north along the river from Carling to Richmond Road, and Glabar Park fills the area between Woodroffe and Maitland near the Queensway. The three communities share a 1950s and 1960s residential character with mature trees and generous lots. Whitehaven homes for sale and Whitehaven homes for rent, as well as listings in Woodpark and Glabar Park, draw established families, professionals, and downsizers looking for a quiet west-end address.
A mature, family-oriented residential corner of the city.
Expect tree-lined streets of detached homes, with bungalows, side splits, and two-storey houses sitting on larger than average lots. Newer infill builds and occasional small condominium projects add variety without changing the established residential feel of the area.
Quiet, outdoorsy, and shaped by the river and parkway.
The Ottawa River parkway, the multi-use pathway, and the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail all sit a short walk or ride north of Woodpark. Smaller local parks and schoolyards in Whitehaven and Glabar Park give children green space close to home, while the Ottawa River shoreline provides longer walks and cycling routes year round.
Unexpected Appeal:
Three distinct neighbourhoods are tucked into one compact west-end corner.
An established west-end Ottawa market with steady demand for detached homes.
Most of the housing stock consists of 1950s and 1960s detached homes on generous lots, joined by newer infill builds and a small number of low-rise condominium projects near the major roads. Buyers are typically families looking to upgrade and longer-term owners seeking a stable west-end community.
A west Ottawa community where the river, the highway, and the city all sit minutes away.
This stretch of west Ottawa puts the Ottawa River parkway, Carlingwood Mall, Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre, and Highway 417 all within easy reach. Westboro and downtown are short drives east, while Kanata and the western tech corridor are quick commutes in the opposite direction. The result is a quiet residential community with the rest of the city at the end of the driveway.
