About South Keys

South Keys made history as the first subdivision in Ottawa built south of the CNR railroad in the 1960s, pioneering development in what is now a thriving south Ottawa community. The neighbourhood has evolved into a multicultural area with diverse housing options from apartments to single-family homes.

The South Keys Shopping Centre, first opened in 1996, serves as the commercial heart of the area with 32+ stores including anchor tenants Loblaws, Walmart, and Cineplex. The shopping centre draws from a radius with over 3,200 households.

South Keys stands out for its green space, boasting three times the amount of any other Ottawa neighbourhood. Sawmill Creek Wetlands and Rideau River shoreline access provide nature experiences within an urban setting. South Keys station on the O-Train's Southeast Transitway connects residents to the broader transit network.
