About Westboro

Inner-west village living by the river

Westboro pairs a dense, walkable main street with easy access to the Ottawa River waterfront.

This is a neighbourhood built around doing a lot on foot—groceries, coffee, dinner, a workout—then shifting quickly to waterfront pathways and parks. It’s a place where condo buildings and detached homes share the same amenity-rich setting. It is not a quiet, purely residential enclave with uniform housing; the Richmond Road corridor brings activity, mixed building types, and a more urban rhythm.

Why Westboro

Richmond Road core

The neighbourhood’s day-to-day gravity is a true “village” strip with dining, cafés, and practical retail close together.

Riverfront access

Proximity to the Ottawa River waterfront and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway pathways is a defining part of how Westboro feels and functions.

Two O-Train stations

Westboro station and Dominion station give the area a transit spine that supports commuting and car-light routines.

Parks network nearby

A cluster of parks—such as Byron Linear Tramway Park, Island Park, and Hampton Park—adds frequent green-space options within the neighbourhood’s orbit.

Living in Westboro

Westboro’s built form is defined by a mix led by condominium apartments, with detached houses also common. That mix supports both low-maintenance ownership in multi-unit buildings and more traditional freehold living within the same amenity-rich area.

A typical Westboro home is a condominium apartment with walkable access to the Richmond Road corridor.

Day to day

A weekend in Westboro often looks like moving between the Richmond Road strip—coffee, a bakery stop, and an easy meal out—and nearby green space such as Byron Linear Tramway Park or Island Park. The riverfront and pathways along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway give the area an outdoors outlet that sits close to the neighbourhood’s commercial core.

Buying in Westboro

In Westboro, look past the asking price at what you’re actually buying into: the building (for condos) and the immediate context of a walkable commercial corridor plus major park-and-waterfront access.

What to look at

Condo fundamentals

Because condominium apartments lead the housing mix, review the condo’s fee structure, what it covers, and practical elements like parking, storage, and any rules that affect day-to-day use.

Transit proximity

If station access is part of the value proposition, check how directly the home relates to Westboro station or Dominion station on foot and what that means for your routine.

Daily-errand radius

Westboro’s appeal depends on walking to services; confirm how the specific home connects on foot to the Richmond Road strip and core retail like Farm Boy or Loblaws.

Outdoor access

If the riverfront is a key draw, verify how naturally your day-to-day route reaches the Ottawa River waterfront and nearby parks such as Byron Linear Tramway Park.

Selling in Westboro

Selling in Westboro is about making the lifestyle legible: buyers are weighing a home’s exact relationship to Richmond Road, the O-Train stations, and the riverfront—along with the building story if it’s a condo. The strongest marketing here clarifies what’s walkable, what’s transit-accessible, and what kind of ownership the property actually offers.

What the marketing has to address

Location clarity

Spell out the home’s functional proximity to Richmond Road, Westboro station or Dominion station, and nearby parks so buyers can picture their day-to-day pattern.

Condo story

For condominium apartments, present the building details cleanly: fees and inclusions, parking and storage, and any notable shared amenities or constraints that shape ownership.

Home type contrast

Because detached houses and condos both compete in the same neighbourhood, highlight what this specific property offers that the other form does not—without leaning on vague claims.

Lifestyle proof

Use nearby anchors—such as Westboro Beach, Byron Linear Tramway Park, and recognizable local shops and cafés—to show the lived-in convenience that motivates many Westboro moves.

The bottom line

Westboro offers a particular combination: a true main-street neighbourhood on Richmond Road with strong everyday walkability, backed up by two nearby stations and close contact with the Ottawa River waterfront. The housing mix is condo-led but not condo-only, which broadens the ways people can live here while staying in the same setting. It’s not the right match if you want a purely residential environment with minimal street-level activity or a neighbourhood dominated by one consistent home type.

Market pulse

Westboro currently has 59 active for-sale listings with a median asking price of $769,900, and homes have been listed for an average of 63 days so far. With 24 new listings added in the past 30 days, fresh inventory is coming to market, giving buyers and investors more choice and some negotiating leverage, while still signaling that well-priced properties can take time to move.
