About New Edinburgh Ottawa
The New Edinburgh neighbourhood is serene, with a distinct character and rich history. It is east of Canada's national capital and offers its residents access to all the amenities of a big city but with the feel of a close-knit village.
New Edinburgh is home to many government offices and embassies at the junction of the Ottawa and Rideau rivers. Waterfront paths along both rivers provide stunning views, such as Parliament Hill’s iconic Peace Tower and Gatineau Hills. Then, local shops, restaurants, and cafés offer various culinary options. And pubs provide an opportunity for socializing after work.
The New Edinburgh neighbourhood is an enclave of Victorian homes. It has tree-shaded streets and premier shopping and dining experiences. Moreover, given its unique sense of place and heritage conservation efforts, it inspires residents and advocates to tackle critical issues. Its residents are also working towards solving ongoing problems with homelessness, aggressive panhandling, drug trafficking, and traffic congestion.
