Living in Chinatown

In Ottawa, Chinatown is a settled residential pocket — mostly houses, quiet streets, and schools and parks within a short walk. Ottawa itself is a dense, transit-served city where most trips can be made without a car — worth keeping in mind when you compare Chinatown with the pockets next to it.

If you're moving to Ottawa from outside the area, Chinatown is a sensible place to start: it shows you what local prices buy, and it's easy to compare against the other 47 communities in the city.
