In Ottawa, the rent gap between two similar buildings usually comes down to O-Train and bus access, how walkable the area is, and how close it sits to the downtown core, the ByWard Market, or campuses like uOttawa and Carleton. Rents tend to run higher near transit and the federal employment hubs, and often ease off in the suburbs.
