New Edinburgh is one of Ottawa's most distinctive neighbourhoods — a National Historic District founded in 1832 and home to Rideau Hall (the Governor General's residence), 24 Sussex Drive (the Prime Minister's official residence), several diplomatic missions, and a remarkable concentration of Victorian and Edwardian heritage homes. Located just east of downtown along the Rideau River, New Edinburgh combines history, prestige, and a tight-knit village character.
We've completed hundreds of New Edinburgh moves over the years — heritage homes on Stanley and MacKay, diplomatic residences along Rockcliffe Drive, and family homes throughout the district. Our crews know the heritage building access patterns, the protocols for diplomatic residences, the parking constraints of narrow heritage streets, and the careful approach this prestigious neighbourhood requires.
Whether you're moving into a Stanley Avenue Victorian, a heritage home near Rideau Hall, or a New Edinburgh rental in a converted heritage building, our local expertise handles the unique logistics with discretion and care. Most local New Edinburgh moves cost between $1,000 and $2,500 with our team.
