Dow's Lake sits beside the Rideau Canal in central Ottawa, about 4 km by road from Parliament Hill, and its O-Train station is open. The Ottawa Neighbourhood Study's 'Glebe - Dows Lake' area had 13,565 residents in the 2021 census, and 51.3% of households rented. Whether it suits you depends on what you need, so here are the facts.
As of · Updated
The same ONS area has residential parkland covering 18.15% of its residential land and tree canopy of 25.9% (2024), and an average of 13.5 transit stops within a 600 m walk. Its average Walk Score is 48.85.
Groceries are on Bank Street in the Glebe, roughly 1.4 km in a straight line from the area centre.
Keep in mind. ONS figures are for the wider 'Glebe - Dows Lake' area, not only the streets around the lake.
