Why live in Ottawa?

With a high quality of living and so much to do and see, who wouldn’t want to call our nation’s capital home? Learn more about what makes Ottawa such a sought-after destination below.

Quality and diversity of education in Ottawa

From its green living standards and economic opportunities to the multiple world-renowned educational institutions and vibrant arts and culture scene, there is so much to love about living in Ottawa. Ottawa is not only the capital city of Canada but one of the largest in Ontario. It is home to over 1.4 million residents and boasts a scenic location next to the Quebec border, where the Ottawa River and the Rideau River meet.

Most populous cities in Ottawa

Some of the most populous neighbourhoods in Ottawa include Orleans - East Cumberland, Orleans West - Innes, Barrhaven West, Kanata North, Stittsville, West Carleton - March, Bay, and College.

Quality of infrastructure for Ottawa

Flying into or out of Ottawa? Ottawa International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in the Canadian capital. Other transit options include the train, with nationwide train service through Via Rail, and local transit services via the O-Train. OC Transpo also operates numerous bus routes around the city, including to and from the neighbouring city of Gatineau. Further, as the biggest city in Eastern Ontario, you will find that all kinds of major Quebec and Ontario highways make their way through Ottawa, including Highway 417, Highway 416, Highway 174, Highway 7, Highway 16, and Highway 31 in Ontario, and Highway 148, Highway 50, and Highway 5 in Quebec. Finally, in terms of healthcare infrastructure, Ottawa is home to the Ottawa Hospital (there are three campuses - General, Civic, and Riverside), the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and the Queensway-Carleton Hospital.

Safety and security for Ottawa

The Ottawa Police Service is responsible for reducing crime and making Ottawa a secure place to live. Currently, Ottawa has one of the lowest crime rates in Canada, even making the list of the top ten safest cities in the country.

Ottawa property market

Ottawa’s property market is sought-after for a reason. It is more affordable than other major Canadian cities, such as Toronto or Vancouver, and you can find a wide variety of available properties here, from condos in downtown Ottawa to townhouses, detached homes, and semi-detached homes in Kanata or Orleans. You also have the option of living across the Quebec border in Gatineau.

Standard of living in Ottawa

Ottawa’s standard of living is first-class. The city is generally considered to be far more affordable than those in the Greater Toronto Area and yet it boasts many of the same attributes, like a great job market, globally-ranked educational institutions, plenty of green space, and a lively arts scene.

Something wonderful about Ottawa

The name “Ottawa,” has been used since 1855, when it was selected as a nod to the Ottawa River, which runs through the city. The name Ottawa is derived from the Algonquin word, adawe, which translates to “to trade” in English. It is important to note that modern-day Ottawa is situated on land that was traditionally occupied by the Algonquins.
