As you walk from the Glebe and cross the canal you will see the beautiful, well-preserved homes of Old Ottawa South. Residents say they enjoy city living with a community feel; you can browse for antiques, grab a drink at Starbucks, shop for furniture, grab some local produce for dinner and are still a short bus ride from the city centre.

Residents who are active or who have a family can choose from six sports fields, three tennis courts, one splash pad, two wading pools, two parks and four outdoor rinks in winter. There are also great schools and daycare centres. For other recreational activities the Mayfair Theatre offers screenings of classics and events that combine live music with cinema. It first opened its door in 1932 and the community has kept it open so everyone can enjoy a movie and a Beau’s Beer in comfort.

Bordered by the Rideau Canal to the north, Carleton University to the West and the Rideau River to the east and south, residents have fantastic access to the bike paths, public transit and the canal in this historic and eclectic neighbourhood.
