South End

This part of Ottawa lies south of Heron Road, and includes a number of newer subdivisions that extend to and around the Airport, all surrounded by NCC Greenbelt lands. The southern reaches of "Ottawa South" extend into what used to be Gloucester. One of the more popular communities in Ottawa South is Riverside South, home to some of the nicest homes in Ottawa. To the west it is ringed by riverside pathways and parkways, to the east it abuts against railways and light industrial lands. This area is very convenient for those wishing to leave Ottawa either by air or by train. The area is well-serviced by the south Transitway to downtown, and the new Light Rail Transit Line connecting South Keys with Carleton, Dow's Lake and LeBreton Flats.
