Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a fairly good medium of transportation in Ottawa. Coming across a parking spot is generally easy. Although there are a limited number of slopes to challenge cyclists, this village is not very appropriate for biking since the bicycling network is fairly poor. Ottawa is also not very suitable for those who get around as pedestrians because few day-to-day needs can be met without a car.

Services

It is a short trip to reach primary schools from most houses for sale in Ottawa. However, there are only a limited number of high schools and consequently they can be an extended trip away. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools. As far as eating is concerned, the closest supermarket in Ottawa is generally only a reasonably short pedestrian trip away. Residents are served by around 20 restaurants and cafes as well.

Character
