Glebe & Old Ottawa South: Heritage Homes Along the Canal

The Glebe and Old Ottawa South are Ottawa's canal-side heritage neighbourhoods — tree-lined streets of detached character homes near Lansdowne Park, the Rideau Canal, and Carleton University. This is single-family territory, so the OREB number that fits is the single-family benchmark, which stood at $698,400 in March 2026 (down 2.3% year-over-year). Demand is split between families chasing walkable, established streets and investors eyeing student rentals near campus. The modest year-over-year benchmark dip, paired with OREB's note that single-family pricing has held comparatively steady through 2026, makes this one of the steadier corners of the Ottawa market for detached buyers.
