Rural lifestyle
One of Ottawa’s appeals is its marriage of urban sophistication
with pure country charm. The city’s downtown core is surrounded
by cozy neighbourhoods, and just beyond them lie fields and farmlands.
It doesn’t take more than about 20 minutes in any direction
to reach the country from the city, and there are many small villages
and rural communities within easy commute to Ottawa. In fact, over
90% of the Ottawa region’s area is rural, providing a host
of choices when you are looking for a rural lifestyle.
