Alta Vista, located south of central Ottawa, has long been known for its residential charm and community-oriented atmosphere, and for being a great neighbourhood to grow and raise a family. Situated just south of the Rideau River and east of Bank Street, Alta Vista provides an ideal combination of urban amenities and residential living.
The neighbourhood is highly sought-after for both potential homeowners and for renters, and a wide range of property types are available to suit many different real estate needs. While it’s known mostly for being a family-friendly area, the neighbourhood is also appealing to young professionals who require a short commute downtown. From older detached bungalows and single family homes to newer condo towers, Alta Vista offers something for everyone, and our experienced sales representatives can answer any questions you might have about home ownership in this part of the city.
New Ottawa Condos Coming to Alta Vista
With Alta Vista’s growth and popularity, it’s no surprise to find new condominiums coming to the area. Citä: Alta Vista, an upcoming condominium from Greatwise Developments, is currently in preconstruction and scheduled for completion in 2016. Located in the heart of the neighbourhood at Kilborn and Playfair, Citä: Alta Vista will be a highrise condo tower with 14 storeys, offering spectacular views of the Rideau River and the Ottawa city skyline.
With oversized windows, private terraces, and sliding room dividers, the units at Citä: Alta Vista are designed to be both modern and luxurious. A range of different unit styles are available, from studio apartments to two-bedroom suites, with prices varying depending on the unit floor plan. Building amenities include a chef’s kitchen and dining area, a contemporary lounge, and an on-site guest suite available for hosting visitors. In addition to the building’s indoor features, Citä: Alta Vista offers a selection of outdoor amenities and gardens for both residents and guests to enjoy.
Ottawa’s Greenspace in Your Own Backyard
A ground-level terrace will feature a summer kitchen and plenty of outdoor seating to relax or dine in the evenings, whether alone or with friends. Designed to blend effortlessly into the surrounding greenspace, the condo grounds are highlighted by a rooftop terrace, a meditation area, a water wall and ponds, and personal plots for organic farming. Private paths will connect with the adjacent parkland, allowing for endless outdoor recreational activity just steps away from home. The condo aims to offer a peaceful, tranquil space for residents to relax and feel at home, whether it’s by taking a walk through the butterfly garden or spending some time at the yoga studio.
In addition to being close to some of Ottawa’s most scenic natural spaces, Alta Vista is also just a short distance away from a variety of retail amenities, including the South Keys and Billings Bridge Shopping Centres. The Ottawa Hospital is also nearby, along with restaurants, cafes, and several plazas offering everything from grocery stores to pharmacies. Residents can get around the rest of the city with ease, with convenient local and Transitway bus routes connecting Alta Vista to downtown and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Alta Vista has long been a favourite neighbourhood for Ottawa home buyers, and with more property types available than ever before, the area continues to be a great place to start your next home search!
