Westboro Rent Prices in Ottawa 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median of C$38/m², you are paying a heavy premium for the prestige of the 'BOUGIE' label. This isn't a gentrification trap; the area reached its peak years ago, so your investment outlook is one of stability rather than rapid growth. While the m² stats are some of the highest in Ottawa, the convenience of having every upscale amenity within three blocks makes it a rational choice for those with the budget.
The Vibe:Richmond Road is the undeniable spine of the area, packed with high-end fitness studios and expensive strollers. It feels like a village that fully transitioned into a high-density luxury hub, where residents prioritize proximity to the Westboro Beach and the Kichi Zibi Mikan trail. The crowd is largely established professionals who don't mind trading square footage for a walk to the Dominion O-Train station.
The median rent price in Westboro, Ottawa is C$38 per m² per month, 1% below the Ottawa city average of C$38.35/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of June 2026.

Locals Ask
Is parking included in the C$38/m² average rent?
Almost never. Expect to pay an additional C$150 to C$250 per month for a spot in the new builds along Richmond Road.
Where can I find the lower C$28.5/m² rates in Westboro?
Target the older three-story walk-ups north of Richmond or closer to Carling Avenue where the units lack modern 'BOUGIE' finishes.
Is the neighborhood analysis positive for long-term renters?
Only if you have deep pockets; Westboro has a low vacancy rate which keeps landlords aggressive with annual increases.
How does the Westboro investment outlook compare to Hintonburg?
Westboro is more stable and established, whereas Hintonburg still has pockets of volatility and slightly lower m² stats.
Is the noise from Richmond Road a dealbreaker?
For units facing the street, yes—constant sirens and traffic are the price you pay for living in the middle of the action.
