Block 4

The Glebe is a neighbourhood in Ottawa. It is located just south of Ottawa’s downtown area. The Glebe is mostly populated by families; the area has many children, and consequently its social services are oriented towards youth. The stretch of Bank Street that runs through the Glebe is one of Ottawa’s premier shopping areas, with many small stores and restaurants offering a wide variety of services. Much of the rest of the Glebe consists of detached homes, many of them constructed in the early decades of the 20th century. Some of these homes are owner-occupied family residences, while others have been subdivided into multiple rental apartments. The Glebe is also home to Lansdowne Park which contains TD Place Stadium and several patio restaurants.
