Ottawa is located in Ontario on the border of Quebec and was founded in 1826 under the name Bytown. Its strategic location enabled the unification of English speaking Canada and French speaking Canada, which later paved the way for Ottawa’s policy of bilingualism that took effect in May of 2001.
The Ottawa River stretches across the border of Ontario and Quebec, with half of the river belonging to the province of Quebec and the other to Ontario, with the dividing provincial line cut straight through the middle.
The city is broken up into 23 wards, and downtown acts as Canada’s political brain. Stand on Wellington Street and admire Parliament Hill and East Block with its green rooftop on one side and Langevin Block, a stately brownstone government building, on the other. The Peace Tower rises from Parliament Hill and Centre Block stands steadfast and tall behind it, a reminder of Canadian elegance and political strength.
Ottawa's 2025 rental market shows one-bedroom apartments averaging around $2,000 per month, while two-bedroom units average around $2,500 per month. These figures represent the current pricing across Canada's capital city for renters seeking these popular apartment sizes.
Ottawa renters can find the best pricing in May, which sees the lowest rent levels of the year. September has the highest rent with approximately a 4% difference between these peak and low months, while December offers the least competitive rental environment with lower overall demand.
Sheffield Glen generates 5 times more renter interest than the market average, alongside popular areas like Sandy Hill and Centretown. For environmentally-conscious renters, Riverview, Centretown West, and Hintonburg offer community solar projects and sustainable features, while Queensway Terrace South and Trailwest provide high walk scores and strong transit connectivity.
Carlington offers the most affordable option with median rent around $1,730, followed by Sandy Hill at around $1,740. Riverside Park provides additional savings for one-bedroom apartments at around $1,350 per month, which is 27% below the city median.
Ottawa offers strong options for pet owners, with 73% of rental listings welcoming pets. This high percentage reflects the capital city's pet-friendly rental culture, making it relatively easy for renters with pets to find suitable housing across the city's neighborhoods.
Utilities are rarely included in Ottawa rental apartments, appearing in less than 1% of listings across all apartment sizes. One-bedroom and two-bedroom units show utilities included in approximately 0.08% and 0.09% of listings respectively, meaning renters should budget separately for utility costs.
Ottawa's rental market is dominated by bungalow-style properties, which represent 88% of available listings. These single-story homes feature the practical design elements characteristic of early 20th century bungalow architecture, including horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, and efficient space usage that emphasizes functionality and craftsmanship details.
Zumper’s proprietary rental data fuels our analysis. Rent and market trends, availability, neighborhood popularity, and lifestyle scores are all calculated using real-time and 2026 rental inventory and prices.
Our Lifestyle Categories ("great for eco-living," "great for social life," "great for pet owners," etc.) are determined by set criteria, against which we score each listing and its available features. At the neighborhood level, we calculate the listing count for each category to determine which lifestyles best fit each area.
Zumper, founded in 2012, is North America’s largest privately-owned rental platform, offering over 1 million listings across the U.S. and Canada. Stay informed on the latest trends and shifts in the rental market with our monthly National Rent Report, your go-to resource for key insights into the evolving rental landscape.
