The Ottawa guide

The capital's urban villages, greenbelt suburbs and rural wards. Ottawa sits in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario and covers 48 communities — enough variety that two homes at the same price can feel like different towns.

Housing in Ottawa runs from condos and lofts near the busiest streets to detached homes on quieter blocks. The city is usually described in parts — Central Ottawa, West Ottawa, East and south Ottawa — and prices move between them.

Right now there are 600 homes for sale in Ottawa around a median asking price of $274,900, plus 600 rentals near $1,995 a month. Every community below has its own guide with the homes available there today.

Good to know before you shortlist

  • Ask how long the trip to work really takes at 8am, not at noon.
  • Check school catchments before you fall for a street — they don't always follow community boundaries.
  • Rental supply in Ottawa is thinner than in Toronto, so good units go quickly.

Who Ottawa suits

  • People who want to live without a car
  • Renters and first-time condo buyers
  • Investors looking for steady demand

Getting around

  • OC Transpo buses and O-Train, or local transit
  • VIA Rail on the Ottawa–Toronto corridor
  • Highways 417 and 401
