Carlingwood

Overview

Carlingwood is a west-end neighbourhood centred on the Carlingwood Shopping Centre, which opened in 1956 as the largest shopping centre in Eastern Canada and once housed the first library in Canada located inside a mall. Enclosed and modernized in 1971, the centre has been renovated repeatedly over the decades but has kept much of its original character — carpeted hallways, indoor plants, and warm wood tones that set it apart from Ottawa's more heavily rebuilt malls. The surrounding neighbourhood is a mix of established, mid-century residential streets built up around the mall's decades of steady growth.
