The Benefits of Waterfront Living in the Heart of Ottawa

At The Docks at Mooney’s Bay, riverside living isn’t just about a beautiful location — it’s about a lifestyle upgrade. Nestled along the serene shoreline of Mooney’s Bay, The Docks offers a rare opportunity to enjoy nature, convenience, and community, all within the city limits. Here’s why making your home here could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

1. An Active Lifestyle, Right Outside Your Door

Living steps from the water naturally invites a more active, outdoor way of life. At The Docks, you’re surrounded by opportunities to move, explore, and connect with nature.

The scenic Rideau River pathways are perfect for morning runs, casual bike rides, or sunset strolls. Mooney’s Bay Park — one of Ottawa’s largest and most popular parks — is just steps away, offering everything from swimming and volleyball to paddleboarding and canoeing.  

Whether you’re an avid runner, a weekend kayaker, or simply someone who loves being outdoors, the opportunities are limitless.

In the winter, Mooney’s Bay Park transforms into a cross-country skiing and snowshoeing hub, bringing a whole new dimension to an active lifestyle. At The Docks, you’re embracing a lifestyle where health, wellness, and the great outdoors are part of your everyday routine.

2. Strong Investment Potential — In a Truly Limited Market

Waterfront communities are limited in Ottawa — and that exclusivity makes The Docks a smart and lasting investment. With so few opportunities for waterfront communities inside the city, properties like these tend to hold their value and appreciate over time. The Docks offers new construction in a modern, sought-after location that combines tranquility with unmatched convenience.  

Located just 10 minutes from the Ottawa International Airport, 15 minutes to downtown Ottawa, and 10 minutes to Lansdowne, you're positioned at key destinations. You’re also surrounded by top-tier education options, from elementary schools to Carleton University, all within easy reach.

The rarity of waterfront properties in Ottawa, combined with the community’s modern design and luxury features, makes The Docks a unique and valuable asset. With limited residential waterfront space left inside the city, the investment potential here is undeniable — The Docks offers a chance to own something that will continue to attract buyers and renters well into the future. Owning at The Docks isn’t just about enjoying the lifestyle it offers today — it’s about securing a piece of Ottawa’s future in a community that promises lasting value, connection, and opportunity.  

Whether you plan to live here for years to come or you’re thinking about long-term resale value, The Docks offers simply can’t be replicated elsewhere in the city.

3. Stunning Views — Every Single Day

There are reasons people are drawn to the water: it’s calming, inspiring, and beautiful. At The Docks, your everyday life can be framed by views of Mooney’s Bay and sounds of the river — whether you’re sipping coffee on your balcony, enjoying a quiet evening inside, or hosting friends on a sunny afternoon.

Large windows, private terraces, and open-concept layouts on the riverside of our Westside Condos are designed to maximize views. Natural light pours in, and the gentle movement of the water becomes a natural extension of your home. The Docks at Mooney’s Bay offers a rare chance to live an active, connected, and beautiful life right here in Ottawa. With limited waterfront opportunities, strong long-term value, and a lifestyle built around health and happiness, now is the perfect time to discover what waterfront living can truly mean for you.
