Golden Triangle - Ottawa Real Estate - Ottawa Living

Hey Ottawa lovers, welcome to the Golden Triangle, a small but perfectly situated urban paradise, right here in Centretown.
Looking on a map, it’s clear to see how the neighbourhood received its geometric name; this triangular stretch between Elgin Street and the Rideau Canal is among the best neighborhoods in Ottawa for walkability and access to public transit.
The Golden Triangle is the ideal neighborhood for those who want to experience the best of downtown Ottawa’s amenities without having to hunt for parking.
This vibrant community contains municipal parks, historic churches, 3 embassies, with easy access to the Rideau Canal, the NAC, and the Rideau Centre. Parliament and the Byward Market are a quick walk away, and The University of Ottawa can be seen just across the Canal.
Queen Elizabeth Driveway, which runs along the Western edge of the Rideau Canal, creates the eastern border of this neighbourhood, and dates all the way back to 1905!
The Driveway was one of the National Capital Commission’s very first projects, and it boasts beautiful scenic views of the Canal and downtown Ottawa, and stretches all the way to Dow’s Lake and the Central Experimental Farm.
Along the entire length of the Driveway is a multi-use trail as part of the Capital Pathway system, making for an excellent area to stay active, while enjoying the view.
Incredibly easy access to the Rideau Canal is The Golden Triangle’s best feature. In the wintertime, the Canal transforms into the Rideau Canal Skateway, the world’s largest skating rink, boasting over a million visitors a season.
Elgin Street, which makes up the entire west border of the neighbourhood, is one of the busiest streets in the city throughout the year. When the Ottawa Senators make the playoffs, Elgin Street becomes “Sens Mile”, the place to be for all the Stanley Cup action and awesome celebrations with the hometown fans!
This bustling strip is packed with fantastic local shops and restaurants, suitable for anyone’s tastes. It also has one of the highest concentrations of pubs and cafes in the city, from trendy lounges to Irish pubs and some of Ottawa's oldest and most popular hangouts. There’s a little something for everyone, so it attracts all kinds of crowds from all over the city.
The Golden Triangle is a downtown lover's dream location with public transit traveling the entire length of Elgin St., connecting you to every corner of the city. Come over for a scenic walk, or maybe a drink, and see why this gorgeous community is where you want to be!
