About The Citadel Apartments

The Citadel is an ideally situated 13-story high-rise located at 169 Lees Ave. It is just minutes from the downtown core, major shopping centers, boutiques, museums, art galleries, entertainment and restaurants. The OC Transpo Transitway offers a quick way to travel to work or University. We are within walking distance to the University of Ottawa, DND headquarters, and the Rideau Center. We are minutes from the scenic Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the vibrant communities of Old Ottawa South, Sandy Hill and the Glebe. ? The building features recently renovated one and two-bedroom units. The renovations include granite counters, new cabinets, fixtures, tubs and showers. Each unit includes a stove, refrigerator, a full-size dishwasher, wall-to-wall carpeting, and tile floors in the kitchen and washrooms. Rent includes self regulating heat and central air. Hydro is extra and is billed monthly through Hydro Ottawa. Indoor or outdoor parking is also available at an additional cost. Our onsite facilities include a recently renovated large whirlpool. There is a well maintained exercise room, as well as bright laundry facilities. It is a secure-access building, and there is an on-call superintendent for any after-hours emergencies. ? We are pleased to announce that as of January, 2018, all of our buildings have begun the transition to becoming 100% smoke-free.
