Current Inventory
Westboro bungalows are rare. When one comes to market it moves fast. The listings below reflect everything currently available — check back often or reach out and I'll notify you the moment something new appears.
Heads up: Westboro is one of Ottawa's most densely developed neighbourhoods. Bungalow inventory here is limited by nature — many original single-storey homes have been replaced with infill over the years. If the list below is short, that's normal. Browse all Ottawa bungalows for more options, or book a call and I'll set up a custom alert for you.
Why Westboro
There are very few single-storey homes left in Westboro — and that scarcity is exactly what makes finding one so worthwhile.
Westboro sits along the Ottawa River, close to the LRT, and within walking distance of some of the city's best independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. The location alone commands a premium that holds up over time.
In Westboro, the lot is often worth as much as the home. A bungalow here sits on land that developers compete for, which means your property holds intrinsic value regardless of what happens to the broader market.
Most people who want to stay in a walkable urban neighbourhood assume they have to climb stairs. A Westboro bungalow gives you the best of both — city living on one floor. That combination is genuinely hard to find anywhere in Ottawa.
Westboro Beach, the NCC riverside pathway, and Westboro's cycling infrastructure make this one of Ottawa's most outdoors-connected urban neighbourhoods. Living here means all of that is within a short walk or bike ride.
The Westboro LRT station puts downtown Ottawa within minutes. For buyers who want to reduce car dependence without leaving an urban neighbourhood, it's hard to beat the transit options Westboro offers.
Many Westboro bungalows have either been updated to a high standard or offer significant renovation potential. Given the land value, a well-executed update can add substantial equity in a short timeframe.
About Westboro
Westboro is one of Ottawa's most sought-after neighbourhoods, and it's not hard to see why. Richmond Road runs through the heart of it, lined with independent coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and fitness studios. The Ottawa River is steps away. The LRT connects you downtown without a car. And the housing stock, what's left of it, is genuinely varied and interesting.
The challenge is inventory. Over the past two decades, Westboro has seen significant intensification. Many of the original bungalows that once defined its residential streets have given way to infill houses, semis, and low-rise condos. The single-storey homes that remain are held by long-time residents and don't come to market often. When they do, they attract immediate attention.
If you're set on Westboro but the current listings aren't the right fit, it's worth looking at Nepean bungalows and Kanata bungalows as alternatives that offer more consistent supply. Or browse all Ottawa bungalows and let the MLS do the work across every neighbourhood at once.
Westboro bungalows start around $800,000 and can comfortably exceed $1,500,000 for larger or updated properties. The land value here is significant — even a modest bungalow reflects the premium of the location. If you're serious about Westboro, getting pre-approved and having a clear picture of your budget before you start looking is essential. Things move fast when the right property appears.
Westboro bungalows rarely stay on the market long. The best way to find one is to be ready before it appears. Book a free call and I'll set up a custom alert so you hear about new listings the same day they hit MLS.
