Studio Apartments for Rent in Ottawa

What a studio gets you in Ottawa

A studio — often advertised as a bachelor in Ottawa listings — puts the living and sleeping area in a single room, with the kitchen along one wall and a separate bathroom. The trade is space for location: a studio in Centretown or the Glebe typically costs less than a one-bedroom in the same building, on the same street, with the same commute.

They suit people who are out of the apartment more than they're in it — students, public servants on a downtown posting, anyone whose priority is walking to work rather than hosting at home. Storage is the usual constraint, so ask what comes with the unit: a locker or bike storage in the building changes how a studio lives day to day.

Where to find them

Studios concentrate in Ottawa's older central buildings, where larger units were subdivided decades ago, and in newer purpose-built rentals designed for downtown workers. In our portfolio they turn up in the Glebe and Sandy Hill — both walkable, both close to transit, which is the point of choosing a studio in the first place.
