Ottawa neighbourhoods

Every Ottawa area with a page, its estimated 1 bedroom rent and what supports it.

The estimate is for a 1 bedroom, built the same way for every area, so the figures can be compared with each other. A row tagged "No renter reports used" means the recent local reports for every type of home in that area are too few (fewer than 5), or too alike, to be used, so the row shows the city baseline with FairRent's neighbourhood adjustment. A row tagged "Renter reports used" says for how many of the 5 types of home the estimate uses them. FairRent's neighbourhood adjustment is shown in small type because it is an input to the estimate.

City baseline: CMHC Rental Market Survey (October 2025) and Statistics Canada Quarterly rent statistics (first quarter of 2026). Neighbourhood adjustments are set by hand by FairRent, with no recorded source. Market data last reviewed: October 2026.

Within each group, areas are listed alphabetically. Each row shows FairRent's adjustment for the area. That adjustment is an input to our estimates. It is not a ranking of the best places to live, and not a measure of what a household can afford.

Municipality. A separate municipality, not a neighbourhood of the named city.

The figure moves as renters report, so it is worth a look when you come back.

Listed alphabetically. Ranges are the estimated 1 bedroom rent. The small percentage is FairRent's adjustment for the area: an input, not a ranking.

Areas with a page but no written guide yet

34 Ottawa areas have a written guide. 1 has a page that shows the estimates and what supports them.

A written guide carries sources and local renter help. A guide is published only when there is something sourced to say about the area, so these are the areas research has not reached yet.
