The boundary

0.3 km²

Every count and every census figure on this page was measured inside this line — not within a circle drawn around a centre point.

Not enough verified data yet. We count schools, parks, transit and shops inside Ottawa East's real boundary and publish the numbers only once that count is confirmed — an estimate here would be worse than nothing.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.

17 of these months closed fewer than 5 leases. A middle value taken over that few is not a market figure — with one lease it is simply that lease — so the count is shown and the median is not. The leases themselves still count toward the 12-month figures above.

Compiled by HOMEH from leases reported closed in Ottawa East on the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board MLS® System, through September 2026. Medians are taken over closed prices, not asking prices. Per-square-foot figures use the midpoint of the banded floor-area range MLS® carries, so they describe the group and not any one home. Not an appraisal or an opinion of value.
