WATERSIDE
Carleton Place’s premier retirement community
As far as locations go, it doesn’t get any more scenic than this. Overlooking the Mississippi River and nestled alongside the Trans Canada Trail, Waterside is a vibrant rental retirement community in the heart of the Ottawa Valley.
We're celebrating our 15 year anniversary! Be sure to register and follow us on Facebook for events and activities.
Just a short drive from Ottawa, Waterside is conveniently located in the scenic town of Carleton Place in Lanark County. Take a stroll down the street to the town centre and shopping districts to enjoy great dining and year-round special events. On site, landscaped walking paths crisscross our grounds, plus we’re riverside right beside by the world’s longest network of trails – the Trans Canada Trail.

Our SUITES.
Because you deserve the suite life.
Beautiful. Spacious. Convenient. Safe.
When we design our suites, we take out time to think about what is most important to you. For example, our spacious suites include walk-in closets because we appreciate how important storage is when moving from a larger home. Our kitchenettes feature full-size refrigerators instead of smaller bar-fridge models because we know that sometimes you just want to prepare a snack for the grandchildren instead of heading over to the dining room. Our bathrooms feature a walk-in shower with a built-in seat and safety bars so you can bathe with ease.
All suites include the following:
Seasonal personal control of heating and air conditioning
Studio Sample
445 sq. ft.
One Bedroom Sample
539 sq. ft.
One Bedroom + Den Sample
658 sq. ft.
Two Bedroom Sample
738 sq. ft.
