The Neighbourhood

Ottawa's Most Walkable Address.

Westboro sits in Ottawa's west end, straddling Richmond Road and Scott Street, with the Ottawa River just steps away at Westboro Beach. What was once a modest village strip has transformed into one of the city's most in-demand residential neighbourhoods, a mix of century homes, modern infill builds, and new condo towers, all within walking distance of independent boutiques, restaurants, and two LRT stations.

The neighbourhood draws young professionals, couples, and downsizers who want urban convenience without giving up community character. It's the kind of place where a morning espresso is followed by a run along the river, and where neighbours actually know each other.

Richmond Road is the spine of the neighbourhood, dense, walkable, and lined with the kinds of businesses that make a street actually worth walking: wine bars, bookshops, specialty grocers, independent fitness studios. Westboro isn't trying to be anything it isn't. That confidence is part of what makes it premium.

What to Expect

Living in Westboro

Three things that define the Westboro real estate experience, for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.

Housing Stock

Westboro is defined by its mix: Victorian-era brick homes on quiet side streets, modern infill duplexes, boutique condos along Scott Street, and newer mid-rise towers on Richmond Road. Buyers can find a character semi-detached under $800K or a fully renovated heritage home over $1.4M.

Transit & Mobility

Two Confederation Line LRT stations, Westboro and Dominion, put downtown Ottawa within 10 minutes. The neighbourhood is also highly bikeable, with the Ottawa River Pathway running along the northern edge. For a central Ottawa address, commuting here is genuinely easy.

Investment Outlook

Westboro has seen consistent above-average appreciation over the past decade. Supply is constrained by the neighbourhood's established character, which keeps demand high and prices firm. It is one of Ottawa's most reliable long-term holds, with strong rental income potential for income properties.
