Frequently Asked Questions

As the name implies, Centretown is located in the very heart of Canada’s Capital. It is bordered to the south by Highway 417 and incorporates the downtown area as a single, sprawling urban neighbourhood. Essentially, one could suggest that Centretown, as a collective of these neighbourhoods, is bordered to the north by Wellington Street, Parliament Hill, and the Ottawa River beyond. The Golden Triangle, which is thought of by some to be part of Centretown as well, lies to the east.

Absolutely! With its close proximity to several prominent educational institutions, including the University of Ottawa, major transit hubs like Rideau Station, and public services, including City Hall, Centretown is a popular choice for folks from all walks of life. It’s completely safe during the daytime and in the evening, and the downtown area along Bank Street is always bustling with life and energy. It’s also easy to tackle errands, dine out, or enjoy a little retail therapy. The area is home to a large local police station, and the city’s most prominent hospitals and healthcare clinics are just a short walk or drive away. Not only that, but there is a wide variety of home types available to various budgets and household sizes, making it ideal for small families, commuters, and senior downsizers alike.

Centretown is home to many smaller independent and larger chain businesses, not to mention almost every type of public service imaginable. Therefore, getting around to take care of errands, shop, or enjoy the sights with friends is easy. It’s one of Ottawa’s most walkable neighbourhoods – in fact, it’s highly encouraged compared to driving a vehicle as it reduces congestion on the roads! Of course, if you need public transit, there are plenty of options via OC Transpo including the continually expanding LRT network, which has stops underground in this part of the city and at nearby Pimisi Station in the Lebreton Flats area. Otherwise, there are dedicated cycling lanes aplenty, including along the Rideau Canal and Ottawa River for you sightseers.

Centretown is part of Wellington Ward, as is Ottawa’s Downtown core. The ward was created way back in 1855 and has continually developed ever since. Fun fact: that’s before even the birth of Confederation and Canada as a nation!

Here are several of the most prominent public schools in the Centretown area:
  • Elgin Street Public School
  • Glashan Public School
  • Centennial Public School
  • Cambridge Street Community Public School
Next, there are the following Catholic schools:
  • St. Anthony School
Lastly, there are various adult and post-secondary school options, some of which can be found right across the Rideau Canal:
  • Lisgar Collegiate Institute (One of the top reputable and sought-after schools in the city)
  • St. Nicholas Adult High School
  • Urban Aboriginal Alternate High School
  • University of Ottawa
  • Adult High School (300 Rochester Street)

Centretown is a bustling hive of activity – and activities! There’s plenty to see and do, from skating along the Rideau Canal to visiting Parliament Hill, browsing the shops along Bank Street and the Sparks Street outdoor mall. Of course, for food, you’re spoiled for choice. Some particular favourites of ours include Brown’s Socialhouse Centretown, Sansotei Ramen, Pure Kitchen Elgin, J-unique Kitchen, and Riviera Ottawa. Beckta Dining & Wine is another fine dining option we can’t recommend enough. This is just the beginning, of course – there are too many great eateries nearby to possibly list them all, so be prepared for a culinary adventure. And if you have a sweet tooth, don’t forget to stop by Thimblecakes for a beautiful buttercream masterpiece for any major celebrations you have planned!
On top of that, Centretown is known for having a fascinating array of employment options. From finance and software to government offices, public services, the arts and more, there’s really something for everyone here in the heart of the city. Plus, if you find a great opportunity in a nearby neighbourhood, simply hop on a bus outside your door or cycle to work for your commute. Of course, for those with a car, there are several local parking garages worth considering, but be sure to shop around as some prices can be higher than others.

Ottawa’s beloved Centertown is home to a dizzying assortment of service options. There are medical laboratories and walk-in clinics (including Appletree), popular grocery chains including Farm Boy and Metro, art supply stores in the form of iconic Wallack’s on Bank Street, office supply shops and shipping options like UPS, and much more. For youth sports programs and other similar offerings, Centretown is home to the Taggart Family YMCA-YWCA, the Jack Purcell Recreation Association, and Capital Volley. The Jack Purcell Community Centre and Pool offer plenty of aquatic fun and recreation for you swimmers out there as well. Of course, the Centretown area is also home to unique attractions galore. These include the Supreme Court of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Nature, Confederation Park (among many local parks in the area), the National War Memorial, Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, and the Rink of Dreams outside Ottawa City Hall.
