About Crystal Beach

Crystal Beach was developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a suburban neighbourhood with an innovative street design that won awards for reducing traffic flow through residential areas. The neighbourhood's name reflects its proximity to the Ottawa River and the crystal-like quality of the area's appeal.

Much of Crystal Beach's character comes from its close proximity to the Nepean Sailing Club, Andrew Haydon Park, and the Ottawa River. The Carling Campus (former Nortel facility) is nearby, and easy access to Highway 417 makes commuting convenient.

The Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association (CBLCA) serves the neighbourhood and surrounding areas, fostering community spirit and advocating for residents. The neighbourhood has maintained its family-oriented character while many original homes have been updated and modernized.

Location & Boundaries

Crystal Beach is triangular in shape, bounded by Carling Avenue to the northeast, Moodie Drive to the west, and Corkstown Road to the south. The Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association covers this area plus Lakeview (south of Corkstown) and Stonehedge/Creeks End (east of Holly Acres Road).
