¿Dónde están los mejores lugares para vivir en Canadá?
La MoneySense 2012 Los mejores lugares para vivir encuesta nominal 190 comunidades canadienses con por lo menos 10,000 residentes, comparing 22 different factors such as weather, los ingresos y los impuestos, las perspectivas de empleo, acceso a la atención de salud, vivienda asequible, los Ãndices de delincuencia, y estilo de vida en general, including the percentage of people who walk or bike to work.
For the third year in a row, Ottawa ranked as the best place in Canada to live.
¿Por qué Ottawa? MoneySense outlined several factors that put Canada’s capital city on top:
Ottawa cultural offerings y family-friendly lifestyle were just some of the factors that helped the city take the No. 1 position…
The city’s residents enjoy high household and discretionary incomes, thanks to the large number of well-paying government jobs, which insulate it from some of the vagaries of the economy.
Al mismo tiempo, the average home price in Ottawa proper ($335,300) isn’t as high as in Canada’s biggest centres, meaning families can comfortably afford decent homes.
Here’s the complete MoneySense Comienzo 10:

- Burlington, SOBRE
- Kingston, SOBRE
- Halifax, NS
- Regina, SK
- Brandon, MB
- Fredericton, NB
- Edmonton, AB

Vancouver, a perennially popular destination for newcomers, fue de #56, but scored dead last in housing affordability.

Fredericton as nice as it seems…should not be on any list…We did some research to what would be beneficial to a ‘family’, for housing costs..slightly cheaper, but the city charges as a ‘tourist’ city pricing range. The school system is terrible, and i quite honestly never met so many ignorant people…deceiving for sure.
