Ottawa

As Canada’s Capital, Ottawa offers the perfect mix of small town feel and big city living that attracts a diverse mix of newcomers. It is definitely the perfect place to settle in and start a family. Aside from a strong economy and high income, Ottawa also earns high marks for being a pedestrian and transit-friendly. It also ranks among the world’s most desirable cities to call home, offering unparalleled health services, economic stability, and affordable housing options. If you’re used to paying for housing in Vancouver, Toronto, or Calgary, you’ll find yourself paying much less for something comparable. From first time homes to luxurious mansions or mature adult surroundings, there are many styles, price points, and neighbourhoods to choose from. Ottawa’s average housing prices are currently below the national average, meaning it is definitely a great city to invest in.
