McKellar Heights

McKellar Heights[1] is a small neighbourhood located in Kitchissippi Ward, in the west end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The neighbourhood is generally triangular in shape, and is generally bounded on the north by Westboro (Carling Avenue), on the west by Glabar Park (Maitland Avenue), and on the south by Carlington (The Queensway).

[2] The neighbourhood is home to the Jewish Community Campus of Ottawa.

The campus features the Soloway Jewish Community Centre, Hillel Lodge (a nursing home), and Hillel Academy School.

The area began to be developed around the 1920s,[3] but truly began being built in 1949 when lots were sold on the "McKellar Homesite" adjacent the now defunct McKellar Golf Club located on the other side of Carling.
