Condos for Sale in Centretown Ottawa

Centretown is a neighbourhood in Somerset Ward, in central Ottawa. The city defines it as “the area bounded on the north by Gloucester Street and Lisgar Street, on the east by the Rideau Canal, on the south by the Queensway freeway and on the west by Bronson Avenue.”

Traditionally, it included all of Ottawa west of the Rideau Canal. Lower Town covered everything to the east. For certain purposes, such as the census and real estate listings, the Golden Triangle and/or Downtown Ottawa (between Gloucester/Lisgar and the Ottawa River) is included in Centretown. In addition, the Centretown Citizens Community Association considers it part of Centretown. People also use it this way in casual conversation.

Centretown features a mix of residential and commercial properties. For instance, the main streets such as Bank Street and Elgin Street are largely commercial. In contrast, the smaller ones, notably MacLaren and Gladstone, are more residential.

Much of the area still consists of original single family homes. However, newer infill and town house developments also appear here. In addition, low-rise and high-rise apartment buildings exist throughout the neighbourhood. Specifically, a construction boom that began in the late nineties significantly increased the number of condominiums and other residential and commercial high-rise buildings north of Cooper Street.
