Where City Energy Meets Calm, Community, and Connection
Some neighbourhoods in Ottawa real estate feel like life on fast-forward—constant motion, noise, and clutter. But tucked along the Rideau River is a refreshing exception. Welcome to a hidden gem where city living slows down just enough to breathe.
This riverside pocket is where trails hug the water, where you’re minutes from both espresso and escapism, and where your next chapter could feel just right. Anna Alemi Real Estate Team invites you to explore what balance really looks like.
Green Space That Feels Like Home
Ottawa Real Estate Meets Natural Living
Start your day at Gil-O-Julien Park—not just a park, but an extension of your living space. Whether it’s a pickup game, frisbee with friends, or simply laying in the grass, this is a space made for movement and stillness alike.
Venture further and you’ll reach:
Riverain Park – Outdoor gym equipment, splash pad, fenced dog park, and scenic walking trails make this a haven for families, fitness buffs, and weekend wanderers
Strathcona Park – Arguably one of Ottawa’s most beautiful parks with tree-lined trails, riverside benches, and landscape design that rivals National Gardens
This part of Ottawa real estate offers not just location, but lifestyle—where every walk can be a wellness break.
The Rideau Sports Centre: A Wellness Destination
Active Living That Redefines Ottawa Real Estate Appeal
Tucked quietly into the community, the Rideau Sports Centre is a local legend. It features:
Public tennis, pickleball, and padel courts
Yoga, strength training, and kids’ camps
The Bridge Public House – a social, casual restaurant with fresh eats and relaxed vibes
It’s more than a gym or park—it’s a lifestyle hub where wellness, community, and recreation intersect. It adds a wellness bonus rarely seen in most Ottawa real estate listings.
