Amalgamation

Originally part of the city of Nepean, Ontario, Crystal Beach became part of the city of Ottawa in 2001 when Nepean was amalgamated with the City of Ottawa.

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