Westboro - Ottawa Real Estate - Ottawa Living

Hello Ottawa friends, and welcome to Westboro, a trendy and vibrant community located along the Ottawa River, between Woodroffe Avenue and Island Park Drive. The area both young professionals and families alike and is one of the wealthier communities within the city.

Westboro was originally considered cottage country in the late 19th century, and it has maintained a lot of that country charm, while evolving into a thriving, upscale community, full of culture. The neighbourhood features murals painted by local artists and a flourishing musical community, highlighted by the annual Westfest Music Festival, held every June.

With its proximity to cycling trails and the Ottawa River, the cosmopolitan comforts of Westboro transition easily into a nature-lover’s escape. (pause) It is Ottawa’s hub for sporting and activity stores, adequately reflecting the population of outdoor enthusiasts in this area.

This community is establishing itself as a prime destination for dining, shopping and nightlife, with an increasingly lively street scene. Coffee shops, trendy boutiques, and gourmet restaurants on Richmond Road have helped turn Westboro into a highly sought-after, sophisticated neighbourhood.

So take a walk over to energetic Westboro, and see why this up-and-coming neighbourhood is where you want to be!
