Located just west of downtown Ottawa, Hintonburg is bordered by the O-Train line, Preston Street to the east, the Transitway to the north, and the Queensway to the south. Established as a village in 1893 and named after Joseph Hinton, this neighbourhood is known for its artistic vibe, featuring colourful murals and public art along Wellington and Scott Streets.
Hintonburg is filled with locally owned cafes, bakeries, and restaurants, including favourites like SuzyQ Doughnuts, Ministry of Coffee, The Table Vegetarian, The Soca Kitchen, Supply and Demand, and Tooth and Nail Brewing Company. The area is also popular for its cluster of craft breweries, making it a unique destination for food and drink enthusiasts.
Residents enjoy excellent transit access with two walkable LRT stations: Bayview Station (also connecting to the O-Train) and Tunney’s Pasture. Local OC Transpo buses run along Wellington Street, connecting directly to the downtown core and Rideau Centre. Carleton University and the University of Ottawa are accessible via LRT or O-Train.
While Hintonburg doesn’t have a dedicated off-leash dog park, it offers several green spaces such as Parkdale Park and Hintonburg Park. For longer walks, the Ottawa River Pathway is nearby and perfect for both residents and their pets.
Families can enjoy summer days at the wading pool in Reid Park (40 Reid Avenue) or the splash pad at Hintonburg Park (101 Duhamel Street).
Hintonburg is home to a variety of fitness centres and studios, including CrossFit Bytown, Iron North Studio, Barres and Wheels, Wheelhouse Cycle, and Anytime Fitness, catering to all wellness preferences.
