Why you'd want to live in Old Ottawa South

Old Ottawa South, nestled between the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal, offers a slice of urban life with a village feel. The neighborhood is known for historic red brick homes with front porches, parks and pathways, great school and shops. It's a place where neighbours chat while their kids play street hockey and draw hopscotches with chalk on the sidewalk. A place where you can park your car and walk – to the grocery store, the community centre, the neighborhood pub. Old Ottawa South is in the centre of the city but not in the gritty heart of downtown, which is a few minutes away by car or bike. via lyneanddominique
