From the Westboro Beach centre it is about 10 minutes to Churchill Alternative School (OCDSB), 10 to Natural Food Pantry and 7 to the future Westboro O-Train station (under construction, opening listed for 2027) on foot (OSRM estimates). The Ottawa Neighbourhood Study's 'Westboro (includes Westboro Beach)' area had 12,280 residents in the 2021 census.",

Macdonald Parkway) and the Ottawa River to the north and west, the Transitway/LRT corridor along Scott Street to the south, and Island Park Drive to the east (Westboro Beach Community Association map).

 "housing": "Small residential streets (e.g. Ferndale, Selby, Lanark, Clearview, Remic) between the Transitway and the parkway. Cottage-like houses survive here from the area's cottage-country days, and the WBCA reports that the area's growing popularity has brought new housing development. Neighbourhood-level housing statistics are not published separately: ONS includes Westboro Beach in its 'Westboro' area.",
