Why Buyers Are Choosing This Area in 2026

Westboro is where Ottawa’s highest earners choose to live. Richmond Road between Tweedsmuir and Golden Avenue is a destination shopping and dining strip: SuzyQ Doughnuts, the Westboro Beach Market, Equator Coffee, Ten Toes Coffee, and dozens of boutiques. Westboro Beach, the Ottawa River pathway, the Kitchissippi Lookout, and the Champlain Bridge provide exceptional recreation. The LRT Dominion station (on the Trillium Line south, planned extension) will keep the neighbourhood connected. The school zone includes Westboro Elementary School, Elmdale Public School, and Nepean High School. For buyers who can afford the premium, Westboro delivers the lowest stress commute to downtown (10 minutes) and the strongest long-term appreciation in the city.

Buying a Home Here — What to Know

Westboro is Ottawa’s most competitive market — be pre-approved, be ready to offer within 48 hours of listing. Most homes sell in 8–15 days with multiple offers. Heritage properties may have conservation restrictions — check before planning additions or major renovations. The Richmond Road corridor is zoned for mixed-use development, so check for future development near properties you are considering. Condo developments are concentrated at the eastern end near Island Park Drive. For buyers priced out of the village core, properties south of the Queensway in Champlain Park offer better value. Westboro’s proximity to the river means Ottawa River flood zone checks are essential for certain properties. For investors, the condo market near the LRT is the best play.
