Westboro, also referred to as Westboro Village, has evolved into one of Ottawa’s most vibrant communities! Formerly the site of Nepean City Hall, Westboro experienced urban revitalization and redevelopment, transforming into a trendy urban hub while preserving its historical charm.
Neighbourhood(s)
Westboro Village comprises several smaller residential areas, including Highland Park, Hampton Park, Westboro, and McKellar Park. Its tree-lined streets feature a mix of early 20th-century and post-war homes, contributing to a cozy, village-like ambiance. Residents cherish the community’s close-knit feel, with wide lots, an absence of roadside curbs, and a preference for older, character homes.
Infrastructure
Situated approximately six kilometers west of Parliament Hill and close to the Ottawa River, Westboro boasts excellent transportation links. Residents enjoy easy access to major roads, parkways, and highways, facilitating a quick commute to downtown Ottawa. The area is serviced by the OC Transpo bus system, with plans for the future Confederation O-Train to pass through Westboro, enhancing connectivity to surrounding suburbs. Additionally, the community offers abundant amenities such as parks, schools, libraries, and recreational facilities like tennis courts, skating rinks, and play structures.

The real estate market includes single-family homes, semi-detached houses, and newer condos along Richmond Road.
