There are only a few safe good areas left in Ottawa. Now 10 years ago things were alot better and safer. Ottawa has alot of gang activity and the liberal police and court system dont care. They continue to get away with horrible activities, sexual assaults on women, theft etc. Ottawa has had 17 homocides since Jan 1st 2014 its now Aug -that is double from last years. 13 of these are gangs! I think all the gangs are foreign. For the size of ottawa- halifax is the same size and they have no gangs and less than half the homocide rate of ottawa. Dont believe the media-they dont tell the truth. Its unsafe for single women to go out at night now i ottawa by bus or walking. There is an area called Heron that is very very bad-its so bad people dont go in the daytime there, its filled with nasty gangs-even around walmart. South Keys is another bad area!
The Glebe appears to be one of the best areas of ottawa but there are alot of liberals and gays. Its safe however as its also close to Ottawa U.......good luck!
White woman here 7 years!
This is absolutely false. The vast majority of Ottawa is nice and 97% of areas in the city are completely safe. It is one of the safest cities of its size anywhere.
The woman talking about gangs sounds a bit biased what with the bits about foreigners and gays. Ottawa has a few "rough" neighbourhoods but the idea that there's only a few safe areas left is false, if anything there's only a few really dangerous areas.
I'd third both Elgin and the Market. Centretown is cool but quieter. I would add that Hintonburg is a neat spot just West of downtown, with some young professionals moving in, some art happenings, and a number of good local bars, shops, breweries, and cafes opening up. The downside is I'm pretty sure it's dead at night compared to all the other places mentioned (no clubs just bars), so it would probably be better to swing by and visit than live if you're looking to party a lot. It also has a bit of an edge to it in spots, although the Market does too just in different ways.
