Eastway Gardens is a small neighbourhood in Alta Vista Ward in the east end of Ottawa, Canada. It consists of a series of dead end streets coming off of Tremblay Road between Riverside Drive and St. Laurent Boulevard. Most of these streets are named for letters of the alphabet, beginning with Avenue K and ending with Avenue U. According to the Canada 2011 Census, the neighbourhood had a population of 583.[1]

History

In 1911, this area of the Gloucester Township was registered as the new subdivision of Bannermount. The new subdivision was intended to be built to house railway employees. Originally, the streets built began with Avenue A in the west. These streets in the western end of the subdivision would later be expropriated for Ottawa's new Train Station. Most houses were built in the subdivision in the 1950s when the neighbourhood was renamed Eastway Gardens.
