Ottawa's Most Beloved Neighbourhood

The Glebe & Old Ottawa South

The Glebe is Ottawa's most beloved neighbourhood — Bank Street's independent shops, the Lansdowne Park redevelopment and TD Place stadium, and the residential streets between the Canal and Bank that carry Ottawa's finest Victorian and Edwardian streetscape. Clemow Avenue (the "grand boulevard") is arguably Ottawa's most photographed residential street; Monkland, Fifth and Seventh Avenues deliver increasing prestige as you approach the Canal. Old Ottawa South, across the Canal on the Rideau River side, provides a quieter version of the same character at slightly lower prices.

Questions & Answers

The Glebe FAQ

What makes Clemow Avenue Ottawa's most prestigious heritage street?
Clemow Avenue is Ottawa's grand residential boulevard — a wide tree-lined street of large Victorian and Edwardian homes between Bank Street and the Rideau Canal. Its architecture, the mature canopy of heritage trees and the proximity to Lansdowne Park and the Canal combine to make it arguably Ottawa's most photographed residential street. Properties here range from $2M to $5M, reflecting the street's irreplaceable character and the difficulty of acquiring one of its rarely available lots.
What are the price ranges for The Glebe luxury homes?
The Glebe's luxury tier begins at approximately $1.2M for well-maintained Victorian homes on the standard residential streets, rising to $2M–$5M for Clemow Avenue and the premium Canal-adjacent streets such as Fifth Avenue. Seventh Avenue and Monkland Avenue properties are typically $1.5M–$3M. The most expensive Glebe properties are fully renovated Victorian mansions with carriage houses on the largest lots near the Canal.
How has the Lansdowne Park redevelopment affected The Glebe?
The Lansdowne Park redevelopment transformed Bank Street's southern end and brought significant retail and restaurant investment to the Glebe. TD Place stadium, the Urban Park and the Shopify-anchored commercial complex have increased neighbourhood profile and foot traffic substantially. The resulting vibrancy has supported the Glebe's emergence as a genuine luxury neighbourhood rather than merely a well-preserved middle-class one.
What is Old Ottawa South and how does it compare to The Glebe?
Old Ottawa South occupies the Rideau River side south of the Canal, immediately across from the Glebe. It carries a similar Victorian and Edwardian character at slightly lower price points — $1.2M–$3M for comparable homes — with the added amenity of Rideau River proximity and the quieter residential character of a neighbourhood without a commercial main street. Buyers who find the Glebe at capacity often discover Old Ottawa South as the superior value proposition.
What is The Glebe's access to the Rideau Canal?
The Rideau Canal runs along the Glebe's eastern boundary — a UNESCO World Heritage site and the world's longest skating rink in winter. The Canal pathway provides cycling access from the Glebe to Parliament Hill (north) or Carleton University and Dow's Lake (south). The Canal also serves as the boundary with Old Ottawa South, making the bridge crossings between the two neighbourhoods short and frequent.
