Why call Ottawa home?
Being the Nation’s Capital holds much weight and gravitas which makes Ottawa an attractive place to live. However, when you really start delving into the details, you’ll find a city that goes far beyond Parliament Hill 24 Sussex Drive.
Yes, Ottawa’s rich history and prominence throughout the Nation is a source of pride, but its rich culture is really what makes it shine brightly. In fact, only a few years ago, Ottawa has rated the best place to live in Canada by Money Sense.

Comparing Ottawa’s Property Prices to Other Cities
The relationship Ottawa shares with Canada’s history of course begins at Parliament Hill.
Even for residents who walk by them every, these splendid Victorian Gothic sandstone structures offer inspiration, as they look over the Ottawa River. But anyone whose stepped foot in the nation’s capital will tell you the love affair starts with Rideau Canal. The 200 km stretch of water is one of Canada’s most picturesque sights. Initially, this waterway was meant for military strategy, coming to fruition in the War of 1812.
There are cruises and boat tours during the summer. And during the winter, the recreation gets kicked up several notches for festivals, skating, and the famous, delicious Beavertails.
Ottawa is lodged in the Southeastern side of Ontario on the south bank of the Ottawa River. It is bordered by Gatineau, Montreal in the north, Embrun and Limoges in the east, Kemptville and Chesterville in the south, and Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills in the west.

Fun Facts About Ottawa, Ontario
True to being a trading capital, Ottawa got its name from adawe, an Algonquin word, which means “to trade”.
Ottawa used to be called Bytown after Colonel John By, an engineer who facilitated the construction of Rideau Canal. Bytown was renamed Ottawa in 1855.
Rideau Canal turns into the world’s longest skating rink during winter. It spans 7.8 kilometers.
Some people say that the Fairmont Château Laurier Hotel by the Rideau Canal is haunted by the ghost of Charles Melville Hays. He was the president of the hotel’s contractor and died on the Titanic about two weeks prior to the hotel's opening.
One-fourth of Ottawa’s population was born outside of Canada.
