Living in Alta Vista
Alta Vista is one of 48 communities in Ottawa, and it is a settled residential pocket — mostly houses, quiet streets, and schools and parks within a short walk. The city around it is a dense, transit-served city where most trips can be made without a car, which sets the tone for prices, schools and how far you travel for everyday errands.
Day to day, Alta Vista works best for people who value families and don't mind a short drive for bigger shops. Compare a few streets before you settle — within one community the feel can change block to block.
