Living in Little Italy

Little Italy, as the name suggests, is the cultural centre for the Italian Community in Ottawa. Today, that very same neighbourhood is now a growing residential area for Asian and European Immigrants, which intersects Ottawa’s very own Chinatown.

One of the hottest neighbourhoods in Central Ottawa, Little Italy features residential homes, recreational activities, small businesses, restaurants and a booming condo market. This area is walking distance from Carleton University, Chinatown, the Rideau Canal, LeBreton Flats, and Dow’s Lake— making it an amazing place to live.
