A closer look at Westboro.

Westboro is an inner-west district centred on Richmond Road, with a well-used mainstreet and access to Ottawa River recreation. Its rental appeal comes from combining local shops and services with varied residential streets and a relatively direct connection toward central Ottawa.

Listings close to Richmond Road put more daily errands within a compact area, while homes toward the surrounding residential streets offer a different pace. Proximity to transit, the river pathway and regular destinations can guide the choice between them.

Rental housing

What you may find.

The housing mix includes detached homes and townhouses, low-rise blocks and converted units, plus mid- and high-rise apartments or condos closer to major corridors and the river.

Newer buildings may emphasize amenities and contemporary layouts, while established homes and low-rise rentals offer another style of space. Compare inclusions, utilities, storage, parking and any condominium rules across both.

Getting around

Plan the actual trip.

Westboro has current bus connections through the station and surrounding corridors, along with useful cycling routes toward the river and downtown. The west O-Train stations are still a future service at the time of review.

Current buses and cycling routes provide the basis for travel today. The trip planner can show how each address connects while the future west O-Train extension progresses.
