About Old Ottawa South

Old Ottawa South, or OOS as it’s known to those who live there, located only 4 km from Parliament Hill with Bank Street as the central thread through the community offering an eclectic mix of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, as well as full-service grocery stores. All of this within walking distance, with a variety of parking for those traveling in. The infill development has caused controversy with some residents in this neighbourhood. Developers are demolishing older homes and replacing them with modern homes and small apartments to house students attending Carleton University. Neighbours are concerned about the potential change of character in the community as well as noise and invasion of privacy with the influx of students.

This community is bounded largely by water – to the north by the World Heritage Rideau Canal, to the south-east by the Rideau River and to the west by Carleton University. Homes near the Rideau River can be subject to flooding. While researching your next home, visit the City of Ottawa’s “geoOttawa” interactive map to see which homes and streets are on the flood plain.

The tree-lined streets are home to approximately 6,500 residents. Part of the appeal, especially for the next generation, is a commitment to walkability and environmental sustainability. You’ll find consignment shops with gently-used clothes and antique shops – all in the name of reuse, and the opportunity to use VirtuCars for those who have no intention of owning a car. Walking, biking and skating all form part of the Old Ottawa South experience.

There are also a number of terrific parks that serve nature and outdoor enthusiasts alike:

  • Windsor Park (walk dogs, enjoy birds, play soccer, basketball, tennis or cool off in the wading pool; launch your kayak or canoe).
  • Brighton Beach Park (similar river views with fewer people).
  • Brewer Park (sports fields, splash pad, adventure playground)

Four major OC Transpo bus routes transport residents downtown and to the south while the O-Train takes students north and south at Carleton University. servicing this neighbourhood; taking residents downtown or south of the city. The shopping strip along Bank Street in Old Ottawa south is known for its antique stores, pubs, and unique shops.
