Gloucester, Ontario Apartment & House Rentals

Gloucester is a suburb of the city of Ottawa, taking its name from Prince William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh. The township of Gloucester became a town in 1981, and in 2001, it became one of the 11 municipalities that became part of the City of Ottawa. This charming riverside town provides easy access through the Billings Bridge to Ottawa's center. Within its borders, Gloucester is comprised of 18 smaller neighborhoods. Formerly a township, some of its small-town suburban charm is maintained by Gloucester. The population density is poor here, leaving children plenty of room to play in the yard or practice street hockey.

By car, Parliament Hill and the University of Ottawa are only about fifteen minutes away. Houses for rent in Gloucester present a perfect mix between work and life at bargain rates. For the whole family, Gloucester offers plenty of parks and green space. The Gloucester Splash Wave Pool, the only one of its kind in Ottawa, is loved by Gloucester residents. The Pine View Municipal Golf Course neighbors Gloucester, which provides stunning views of the waterfront. In Gloucester, there is the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE), which runs Francophone Catholic schools in Ottawa.
