Westboro

Overview

Westboro blends an urban village with a beach town, centred on Richmond Road's mix of independent restaurants, outdoor-gear shops, yoga studios, and specialty food stores. It has developed a distinct identity around health, wellness, and outdoor living, helped by its proximity to Westboro Beach on the Ottawa River, where residents swim in summer and cross-country ski along the riverside pathway in winter. Heritage houses along Richmond Road, some dating to the 1840s, sit alongside newer condo development as the area continues to intensify.

Getting Around

Richmond Road carries several OC Transpo bus routes into downtown, and a future Westboro station on the O-Train Confederation Line's western extension (under construction, expected in the coming years) will add direct rail access. The riverside multi-use pathway makes the area very walkable and bikeable in the meantime — check octranspo.com for current routes and schedules.
