If you're a student at the University of Ottawa, then you probably want to live close to campus - which means you need to find a student apartment in Downtown Ottawa.
Paramount Properties has several excellent apartment buildings located in the downtown core - Riverview Place, Elgin Square, and Cartier Square Apartments are just a quick walk from the University of Ottawa, while Alta Vista Towers is located right beside Hurdman Station on the Transitway, allowing you to get to campus by bus in just a couple of minutes.
When you rent one of our Ottawa apartments, you'll not only live close to school, but you'll have immediate access to all of the stores, restaurants, bars, and entertainment options that downtown Ottawa has to offer, including:
Close To Everything You Need
When you rent an apartment in downtown Ottawa, you're within walking distance of everything you need in your day-to-day life. For starters, you'd be living right near Bank, Elgin, and Rideau Streets, where you'll find a variety of banks (Scotiabank, TD, BMO) and grocery stores (Loeb, Loblaws, Hartman's). For a greater shopping selection, check out the Rideau Centre, which is home to several popular stores such as Old Navy, Lululemon, HMV, EB Games.
If shopping outdoors is more your thing, you'll definitely want to head down to the Byward Market, which is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets. Here you can buy a variety of fresh flowers, produce, and art, as well as a great selection of restaurants, pubs, and clubs.
Go Anywhere, Anytime
One of the best things about renting an apartment in downtown Ottawa is the Transitway. All of the major OC Transpo bus routes run right through downtown along the Transitway, with many of them running until nearly 3 a.m. - meaning you can stay out late and still make it back to your downtown apartment, quickly and affordably, before the buses stop running.
Your Entertainment Destination
Downtown Ottawa is also an excellent place to catch some great entertainment. When you rent an apartment from Paramount Properties, you're within walking distance of the Ottawa Fringe Festival, which takes place around the University of Ottawa campus and features dozens of highly entertaining, witty and sometimes controversial plays by local and national theatre groups.
For a more "refined" night out, there's also the National Arts Centre (located right beside the Rideau Centre), which hosts hundreds of theatre, dance, opera, orchestra, concert and variety performances each year.
If movies are more your thing, there are several options, including the Empire Theatres in the Rideau Centre and the World Exchange Centre. And don't forget about the famous ByTowne Cinema, which showcases a variety of independent films, art house flicks, and timeless classics.
