Ottawa's thriving East Urban Community!
AT A GLANCE
Nepean is home to several high-tech industry leaders such as Nortel Networks, JDS Uniphase and Gandalf Technologies. The former city hall, Ben Franklin Place located in Centrepointe now serves as a government office & client service centre, as well as a branch of the Ottawa Library, and home to the Centrepointe Theatre.
Nepean is just slightly west of the centre of Ottawa. Nepean is the home to Algonquin College and Centrepointe Theatre as well as the Nepean Sportsplex.
The Nepean area became a part of Ottawa in 2001. Before that, it was a separate municipality. There are a significant number of different neighborhoods in Nepean, including Rideau View, Hog's Back, Mooney's Bay, Skyline, and Fisher Heights. You'll also find Fisher Glen, Carleton Heights, and Parkwood Hills there. Most of the neighborhoods are small, and they're home to mature landscaping and older housing options that have been well cared-for. Other neighborhoods in the Nepean area include City View, Meadowlands, Ryan Farm, and Crestview, along with Woodroffe and Merivale. There are a few newer communities, as well.
With such a large number of great neighborhoods in the area, you can find a place that you really love and that feels like home, so you can start the next chapter of your life.

On the far west end of the city, in the Nepean area of Ottawa, you'll find the Bayshore neighborhood. Bayshore Mall and The Coliseum movie theater are both located there, and they're among the largest of their kind in the city. You won't be at a loss for great movies to see and plenty of shopping to do. You can also find other small, local shops throughout the neighborhood, along with grocery stores and professional services. That makes things very convenient, since you don't need to travel far to get items for your home, do some window-shopping, or find excellent entertainment options.
