The Neighbourhood
Ottawa's Most Sought-After Address.
The Glebe occupies a privileged position in Ottawa's urban core, south of Dow's Lake and the Rideau Canal, north of Queensway, and centred on Bank Street's independent commercial strip. It is one of the few central Ottawa neighbourhoods where you can genuinely walk to everything: the canal, a farmers market, cinema, independent restaurants, hardware store, and doctor's office within four blocks of most front doors.
The housing stock reflects its age and desirability: Victorian semi-detached homes on deep narrow lots, substantial detached properties on the quiet side streets north of Fifth Avenue, and newer boutique condominiums along the canal edge. Renovated Glebe homes consistently command the city's highest price-per-square-foot for residential properties outside of a handful of Rockcliffe Park estates.
Lansdowne Park, anchoring the southern edge of Bank Street, brings TD Place stadium, year-round programming, a renovated Farmers Market, and a critical mass of retail that serves as both neighbourhood anchor and weekend destination. Its continued development has only added to Glebe's long-term real estate story.
