A closer look at Centretown.

Centretown is a central Ottawa area around Bank and Elgin streets. Rentals include units in older houses, low-rise apartments and newer taller buildings.

You may be able to reach work, shops and restaurants on foot. Compare the rooms, building services and street activity at each address.

Rental housing

What you may find.

Centretown's heritage district includes detached houses, row houses and low-rise apartments from the early twentieth century. Elsewhere, converted houses, mid-rise rentals, condos and taller apartment buildings expand the choice.

Each building style creates a different rental experience. Compare heat and utility costs and meters, laundry, storage, noise between rooms and bicycle or vehicle parking alongside the layout and monthly rent.

Getting around

Check your commute.

Centretown supports many trips by walking, cycling and bus, with downtown Line 1 stations accessible from the northern part of the area. Convenience still depends on the specific address and destination.

Renters planning a car-light routine can prioritize proximity to their most frequent destinations. Those who keep a vehicle can compare rentals with an included or separately available parking space.
