Ottawa is located in Ontario on the border of Quebec and was founded in 1826 under the name Bytown. Its strategic location enabled the unification of English speaking Canada and French speaking Canada, which later paved the way for Ottawa’s policy of bilingualism that took effect in May of 2001.
The Ottawa River stretches across the border of Ontario and Quebec, with half of the river belonging to the province of Quebec and the other to Ontario, with the dividing provincial line cut straight through the middle.
The city is broken up into 23 wards, and downtown acts as Canada’s political brain. Stand on Wellington Street and admire Parliament Hill and East Block with its green rooftop on one side and Langevin Block, a stately brownstone government building, on the other. The Peace Tower rises from Parliament Hill and Centre Block stands steadfast and tall behind it, a reminder of Canadian elegance and political strength.

Rents in Ottawa, ON are on the rise, with average rent prices increasing by about 5% overall. Specifically, the cost of a 1-bedroom rose by 8%, and 2-bedrooms increased by 8% as well.
Ottawa renters can find the best pricing in May, which sees the lowest rent levels of the year. September has the highest rent with approximately a 4% difference between these peak and low months, while December offers the least competitive rental environment with lower overall demand.

Utilities are rarely included in Ottawa rental apartments, appearing in less than 1% of listings across all apartment sizes. One-bedroom and two-bedroom units show utilities included in approximately 0.08% and 0.09% of listings respectively, meaning renters should budget separately for utility costs.
Ottawa's rental market is dominated by bungalow-style properties, which represent 88% of available listings. These single-story homes feature the practical design elements characteristic of early 20th century bungalow architecture, including horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, and efficient space usage that emphasizes functionality and craftsmanship details.
