Living in Tunney's Pasture | Ottawa West
Tunney's Pasture
Doesn’t it sound great to live in a pasture right by the Ottawa River?
Pasture now in name only, originally it was a place for Albert Tunney to
graze his herd (and his farmhouse at 201 Parkdale is now a sleek new
condo). Since the 1950s the hub of this district has been transformed from
farmland into a campus built exclusively for federal government buildings.
Some of those original buildings have made way for condos to put more
people close to their work. South of Tunney’s is where you will find some of gems of homes for sale in
Ottawa West. Tucked next to Island Park Drive are quiet leafy streets with
quick access to Highway 417 and Wellington Street, the gateway to downtown.
Island Park Drive takes you right across the Ottawa River via the Champlain
Bridge. Some of Ottawa’s best golf is at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club at the
Gatineau end of the bridge. Walkable, bikeable, and with the Tunney’s
Pasture OTrain station at your door, you are perfectly positioned to access
the east and west parts of Ottawa, and Island Park will take you south.
Wellington Village has all the services you need and the lovely shops,
cafes and restos that make this area a strollable delight. Homes in Ottawa
West-Tunney’s Pasture go quickly!
