The Waterbrooke

Welcome - About the Waterbrooke

The Waterbrooke is located east of downtown Ottawa in the area known since the early years of the 20th century as Overbrook. Overbrook was annexed by the City of Ottawa in 1950. The neighbourhood's western boundary is federal NCC parkland along the Rideau River. The eastern boundary is the Vanier Parkway. The northern boundary is MacArthur Avenue, while the southern boundary is the Queensway.

Local residents refer to this area as "a little hidden jewel in a bustling city." We take great pleasure in our close proximity to the Rideau River, and NCC parkland with its Capital Pathway Bike Path and trails that facilitate cycling, walking, canoeing and kayaking. We are across the street from the Rideau Sports Centre and a five minute walk to Loblaws. The Adàwe pedestrian and cyclist bridge which opened in late 2015 provides quick access to Sandy Hill and further on, the Byward Market and downtown Ottawa.

The Waterbrooke condominium itself includes well-landscaped grounds and a beautiful central courtyard garden that is lovingly looked after by a volunteer gardening committee, and landscaping maintenance crew.
