Centrepointe vs Ottawa_Gatineau region is like Shanghai vs China Kanata vs Ottawa_Gatineau region is like Shenzhen vs China
However under current gloomy high tech situation, Centrepointe could be better than Kanata if LZ can afford both places and do not depend on any high tech job.
if you have kids, I think centrepointe is much better than centre park--- school is better, close to library, walk to swimming and skating, teen kids can take the bus to anywhere,very good communities all around the area, unbelievable reseal house price... But the houses are much old and expensive than those in centre park.
