Avalon, Ottawa

Avalon, Ottawa

Avalon is a neighbourhood located in Ottawa, Ontario It is located in the east end of the city in Orleans.

This neighbourhood was non-existent until the late 1990s when the urban sprawl intensified in the east end. Avalon quickly developed in the area is now bordered to the north by Innes Road, to the east by Trim Road, the west by Tenth Line Road and to the south by the city's urban boundary which is moved further to the south by the years. Evidently, new homes and condos consisted most of the residential units in Avalon.

At the intersection of Innes and Tenth Line, a large commercial zone with several department and big-box stores developed in conjunction of the residential boom of Avalon. This new district displaced some customers away from Place d'Orleans. A smaller commercial area is currently underway on Trim Road south of Innes.

Future plans by the city of Ottawa may bring an east-west light-rail line in the area but it is still several years away. However, the cancellation of the north-south extension project on December 14, 2006 may halt those plans.
