THE NEW WESTBORO BEACH DEVELOPMENT LOOKS AMAZING!
What’s up Ottawa Real Estate!! Very exciting things coming to the Westboro area, specifically Westboro beach (my neighborhood :))
Once a hidden gem, Westboro beach is quickly becoming a hot spot for young folks to hangout, play sports, swim, listen to live music, and enjoy beautiful sunsets. If you’ve been there, you probably noticed that it’s been a somewhat neglected public space (overgrown trees, unused space, rundown facilities, etc). Well, the city of Ottawa is now spending some of your hard-earned taxes to revamp the area, and it’s looking pretty impressive!
First off, there’s a new building going in where the parking lot was. Apparently, it will be a restaurant and community space (please, Ottawa, let an established, independent restaurant owner put something decent in here). A few other key features of the new development are: volleyball areas, outdoor showers, children’s play areas, and updated washrooms. All in all, it sounds like it’ll be a dramatic improvement over what’s there currently.

I, for one, am excited to have a proper beach space in the beautiful Westboro neighborhood, and will definitely be enjoying the restaurant and amenities that this area will offer. Bring your volleyball and your A-game, and I’ll see you on the beach! This will be a HUGE benefit to Westboro and the real estate market in this area of Ottawa.
