问一哈啊，如果工作在DOWNTOWN,买房子到底买到kanata和orleans哪里好？orleans中国人多不多？

每个社区基本都会建一些贫民房，这就是加拿大民主啦。
Orleans的房价一直没有西边那么高，个人感觉还是喜欢西边KANATA，NEPEAN。

DT工作，主要看你是开车去呢，还是坐车了。 你要是地考察考察。

我坐车去DT上班，感觉从KANATA去比从ORLEANS 远。好像听人说，KANATA的中国人多是因为很多中国人在KANATA的HI-TECH工作，如果不是在KANATA工作，住KANATA好像有点不划算，因为离DT远，而且房价有点OVERPRICE。
然后又听说ORLEANS住的很多是政府人员，因为ORLEANS去DT近。

信息太多，所以想问问有没有住在ORLEANS的中国人，说说到底ORLEANS怎么样，或者ORLEANS的那些地方好，或者不好，或者中国人多。

Not all Kanata communities are safe. Like this week's crime stats, there are several reports about the break and enter, robbery in Glen Cairn area, especially the Morton Dr area.

If you think ahead of your kids education, Kanata Lake is the best choice. The desinated high school is the Earl March, which is in the top 2 of all public high schools.

Barrhaven小区的治安怎么样?

It may not be a bad idea to buy a house or an apartment in downtown. The potential of appreciation of your house is higher. Ottawa is relatively safe place. Only place here you want to avoid may be Vanier.

如果坐巴士上班，要买普通民居，到octransp的图上数一数，绿色的高峰线路去downtown的哪个区多，时间平均多长，就大概能比较出来住哪里合适了－－－octranspo 毕竟是常年监测客流量和需求增加从而变换路线和车次的。其实看颜色就一目了然。
OC Transpo Transit Map

我个人数的，从Orleans主要经174去downtown的，大概是20－39路，从kanata，主要经417的是60－69，从Barhaven主要走woodroffe是70－77路。

Orleans住的在联邦政府里工作的人多的说法也是有可能的，除了跑downtown 的高峰巴士线路多外，确实说法语的或者懂法语的人多，在商店饭店甚至咖啡店里的人同时说英语和法语跟客人打招呼的就明显的多，法语的学校密度好像也大。我觉得想给孩子找个稍微双语环境的orleans也许机会大些，但是想找中国人多的地儿扎堆的，在orleans恐怕难。

这是只考虑一个人跑downtown的情况。家里另一口也上班，就会缩小考虑范围了。
个人之见。

Kanata. 升值潜力大.

这只能等上些年后，再看看预测是否准确了。

Do you mean Earl of March Secondary School?

Basically, your lifestyle determines where and either a house, townhouse or condo you would like to buy.
Downtown is more suitable to professionals, young couple, small family without kids (or one). It is convenient to everything, even walk to work. It is an urban living lifestyle. You will enjoy all amenities around, bars, cafes, museums, all kinds of outdoor events, festivals, etc. However, it is very expensive to buy a house, (town house is less pricey) tax will be high…. Condo is another alternative, you pay condo fee, but you don’t need to take care of lawn and you could enjoy the facilities such as gym/swimming pool.
It is unfair to say if Barrhaven, Orleans or Kanata is better than others, there are good and bad spots / communities in these three regions. You have to do your study. Bottom line, you have to like what you bought, everyonelse's opinion is just reference.

That's my original concern coz Black are tend to be French-speaking.

Lot of Federal Government employees are living in Orleans area. I means a lot. They are not nessary black as a matter of fact they are mostly white.

List your priorities for your house (transit, school, investiment...), do your own study and matching every of them one by one, Or list your priorities here (if not private). You will get honest and accurate suggestions. Once you have the result, you will have the answer.

One thing keep in mind, even you bought a house by totally wrong reason, it still is not end of the world... you always can sell it and buy anohter one.

I'm a federal government employee, and I live in Kanata. However, I don't think there is any difference living in Kanata or Orleans because it takes about the same amount of time getting to downtown core.

Your choice of location should be based on your priorities. If you have kids, pick an area that has good home school. But there is one thing for sure: a school is always better when there are more chinese students. Why? We chinese people pay more attention to the education of our kids. Hope this helps...

Thank you very much for your suggestions. BTW, actually my list of priorities was posted before:"...
My standard is : 1. easy access to rapid buses 2. safe 3. good elementary school..."
