Westboro Village
Westboro Village is a quaint and tightly knit community not far from downtown Ottawa. Westboro homes are in high demand and not long on the market as they are located in one of the most desirable places to live in Ottawa. Adjacent to the Ottawa River and blessed with an abundance of green space for such an urban setting, Westboro homes run the full range from semi-detached and single detached houses in an older, established neighbourhood to mid-rise and high-rise condos on bustling thoroughfares (Richmond Road and Scott Street). A number of great schools are located in or near Westboro, while your options for shopping and dining will never run dry. Whether you fancy a jog along the Sir John A. MacDonald Parkway or a swim at Westboro Beach, recreation is just a stone’s throw from the front door of your Westboro home. Many of the homes in Westboro are older and extremely well maintained, adding to the charm, character and spirit of this vibrant and coveted Ottawa neighbourhood. Should you see a Westboro home listing let us know so that we can book a private showing ASAP. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on your Ottawa dream home in Westboro!
