Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Quarry Glen is an east-end Ottawa suburban neighborhood that has done something the data rarely shows at this price point: 13 parks and 6 sports courts for a 22-restaurant, 4-coffee-shop zone. Roy G. Hobbs Park, Joe Jamieson Park — named infrastructure, managed grounds, accessible without car. Tony's Pizza as the dining anchor tells you what this neighborhood values (reliability, proximity, reasonable prices) and what it's not trying to be (destination). Tim Hortons and Real Fruit Bubble Tea as the coffee infrastructure tells a similar story. Greco Fitness and GoodLife signal the suburban fitness model — chain coverage rather than boutique ambition. The Social Glue score of 81 is the highest among Ottawa's suburban cohort, and it reflects the actual social mechanics of dense park-and-court infrastructure: people encounter each other at baseball diamonds and tennis courts more consistently than at gastropubs. The Digital Nomad score of 40 is honest — this is a neighborhood you drive out of to work, or you work from home in a room with a real desk.
