Area overview
About Westboro
Westboro is one of Ottawa's most walkable neighbourhoods, centred on Richmond Road with its cafes, shops and grocery stores. It sits close to the Ottawa River, with the river pathway and Westboro Beach a short walk away.
Seniors who want to stay active without a car love Westboro, and many choose condos here to downsize while keeping everything they need within a few blocks.
