Crystal Beach, Ottawa

The neighbourhood is triangular in shape, and its boundaries can broadly be described as Carling Avenue to the northeast, Moodie Drive to the west, and Corkstown Road to the south.

[citation needed] Today, Crystal Beach is a primarily residential neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, and over the years, has become one of the most desired real-estate locations in Ottawa.

Much of Crystal Beach's appeal is due to its close proximity to the Nepean Sailing Club, Andrew Haydon Park, the Carling Campus and Ottawa River, its award-winning neighbourhood design (to reduce traffic flowing through), easy access to the Queensway (Highway 417), quality schooling, community centre, and the recreational facilities within.

[citation needed] Together with the Lakeview neighbourhood south of Corkstown, and the Stonehedge and Creeks End neighbourhoods east of Holly Acres Road, the area is covered by the Crystal Beach Lakeview Community Association (CBLCA).

From this neighbourhood there are easy ways to access both the west end and centre of Ottawa, as Crystal Beach is served by two major arteries (Highway 417, Carling avenue).
