Although our location is considered part of Ottawa, we live southwest of Ottawa proper in a small subdivision of the National Capital Region (NCR) called Barrhaven. Bus/train service is widely available to take you to all tourist areas within the NCR (I used to take the bus into downtown Ottawa on a daily basis for work). We live in a relatively quiet neighborhood and are very close to bike and walking paths. We are within a 15-20 min walk to a large shopping area called Chapman Mills Marketplace - with large stores such as Walmart, Loblaws, Your Independent Grocer, Home Depot and numerous other stores and smaller amenities; along with a variety of restaurants (both fast take-out and mid-range). We are a 10-15 min walk to a smaller shopping area with a Canadian Tire and Farm Boy grocery store and other amenities/ restaurants/shops. We have a nice backyard you are welcome to use to relax at your leisure (although their is no furniture set up on a regular basis). You are also welcome to use the chairs and small table, if they are set up, on the front porch. PLEASE NOTE - Our driveway has a greater than 3% grade - which may affect your fridge or other rig appliances. In addition, at times, depending upon which runway the Ottawa International Airport chooses to utilize, we are located under the flight path for commercial aircraft, however, it doesn't occur often and the amount of planes is considerably reduced during the night hours.
