About Sandy Hill
Sandy Hill is a historic urban neighbourhood located directly east of Ottawa's downtown core, bounded by the Rideau River to the east, Rideau Street to the north, and the University of Ottawa campus to the south and west. This duality — heritage residential streets alongside a major university — gives Sandy Hill a unique energy that combines the architectural grandeur of embassy row with the youthful vitality of a university quarter.
