One in Old Ottawa South, one in Sandy Hill. Prices are high in both places, ditto the Glebe, where there are excellent schools. I can give you a rundown of highly thought of schools, if you want it. For me, that determines neighbourhood. You can also live 'in the country' and reach downtown Ottawa in half an hour. I can also put you in touch with some Ottawa bloggers. Just drop me a line.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-11871367978873475642007-07-20T11:29:00.000-05:002007-07-20T11:29:00.000-05:00I feel like we should see each other a lot more of...I feel like we should see each other a lot more often if you're going to be leaving G-town for parts farther away!

I will never live there again, but it is a great place to live, and Danigirl is right about the "small town" feel. I don't know the places to live anymore, but I'd be going for Ottawa South (Bank Street, south of the canal) though I have no idea what the housing prices are now...I love Sandy Hill, too (nearish to UofO), but I imagine that's pricey.<BR/><BR/>As for T.O., look around the Junction (Dundas, once it's jogged north of Bloor). It's the next neighbourhood that'll go sky high, but I think the prices are still reasonable. Of course, you know I love my 'hood, but we've talked about the prices here.<BR/><BR/>I'm so excited for you, whatever comes.NotSoSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782162947524115936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-13712078696974651782007-07-18T19:18:00.000-05:002007-07-18T19:18:00.000-05:00Those photographs are some of the most calming and...Those photographs are some of the most calming and most peaceful photographs I've ever seen.<BR/><BR/>They are TREMENDOUS.

It gives you a feeling of being in a small town, but you are still on the subway line to get downtown. It's huge for young families too.

LOVE it. I've only ever lived here and in London, ON, and I'd never live anywhere else. I'd be happy to be your ambassador to Ottawa and answer any questions you might have, and I make a damn fine tour guide, should you ever need one.<BR/><BR/>I love Ottawa because while there is always something to do (see our recently ended kick-ass Blues Fest and world-class museums and World Heritage site Rideau Canal) but it still has a small-town feel. Super clean, really safe, miles and miles of bike and hiking paths, a few great restaurants and not-bad shopping. VERY family friendly.<BR/><BR/>If you're curious about housing prices, check out this "for sale by owner" network: http://www.grapevine.on.ca/cgi-bin/forsalefeature.cgi Hard to guess when you don't know the neighbourhoods, but I'd be happy to tutor you to the best and worst of Ottawa and environs.DaniGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419923174468788289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-13700969263734293592007-07-17T10:26:00.000-05:002007-07-17T10:26:00.000-05:00god, those pics. wow. and a move! a move! i can...god, those pics. wow. <BR/><BR/>and a move! a move! i can think of a gazillion Toronto-ians who would be so thrilled.Girlplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056576921114387218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-63433088465697189552007-07-17T10:24:00.000-05:002007-07-17T10:24:00.000-05:00gorgeous photos! i know that all the t.o. gals wil...gorgeous photos! i know that all the t.o. gals will be cramming your inbox with cries of,'live near me!' so i have to go beat them to it.karengreenershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488069680575426742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-43713966986567688242007-07-17T09:07:00.000-05:002007-07-17T09:07:00.000-05:00You are incredibly, incredibly talented.
