Great idea! BTW, which area in Kanata do you live?

I live in Brookside (Kanata North). I don't have kids, so school is not a concern for me.

顺便问一下KANATA的Katimavik 区好象最近房子卖的比较多，而且不算贵，有没有住那里的中国兄弟姐妹，介绍介绍，谢谢

I have lived in this area for two years. This area is very good:
1. a lot of mature trees, grass and trails, a lot of parks;
2. very good schools (Katimavik E. S. for French immersion, Earl of March Secondary School);
3. quick access to highway 417, bus 96;
4. walk distance to library, wave pool, arenas, chinese store, and a lot of stores;
5. walk to walk in clinic, dentist, ...

The only drawback is that the house is old ( most of them are over 20 years). But the lot are usually larger than new home.

If you are looking for a townhouse, here are two good candidates. They are in a very quite and safe neighborhood. The only thing is they are little bit pricey.

Ottawa Real Estate Board - Listing Details $299,900.00

This is back to Gulf course and features a walkout basement
Ottawa Real Estate Board - Listing Details $319,900.00

Disclaim: I am not an agent, nor owning any of the two houses.

They are all kanata lake town houses. Kanata lake schools (elementary and high school) perhaps are the best in city.

But I think this one could be better value Ottawa Real Estate Board - Listing Details

This town home may be little older than the other two, but it is back to golf course. Good view and quiet backyard. carpet, roof , furnace and counter top all new. So these is nothing to worry about for another 15 to 20 years. $259,000 pretty much on target for this location.

It is on Knudson Dr, which is a major road in this area. It's not good for young kids. There's a reason for low price. You even get hard time to back your car to the street from your garage.

I don't think so. At least in ottawa the design of the roads is big circle link with small circle, very few dead end streets, So most roads have through traffic, play on the street never is option and it is againt bylaw. in kanata lake 50% houses are along glodenridge, knudson drive and walden drive. The houses price on these roads are not different than others. And they are not that busy.

My friend used to in Kanata. He told me that there is a dangerous gas found in his area. The name of the gas is called Radon. I heard that many houses are affected. This is a kind of gas with radiation and can cause cancer. You can go to Environment Canada to find out more. They have posted a map, a few areas in Kanata are in red colour, that means the gas is very active in those areas.

Before you buy a house check the map first. My friend's previous house in Kanata had a very high reading of Radon, he moved out from that house last year, his previous neighbour next to his house got lung cancer and is receiving treatment.

有没有人用过“Radon Sealer"?

You can ask this person where is the location of his house.

Try this if you consider Kanata Lake.

4 minute to Earl of March high school, elementary school is same as Kanata Lake. But the house is not as expensive as Kanata Lake.
