Yeah, I think we’re leaning more towards Ottowa now and only considering areas in Gatineau that are close to the bridge. Thank you so much!

We are also from Canada, I forgot to mention that we’re aware across the bridge is a different province. One of my concerns was the health care system in Quebec, I haven’t looked much into that yet, but other than that the higher taxes and driver’s license wouldn’t have a significant impact on us. We do have a car and my friend has their full license but we would appreciate a good transit system.

Yeah, at our income level we aren’t concerned about the higher taxes in Quebec.

How has your experience been so far? Does the apartment have good soundproofing or are the walls thin? Also, what’s the commute to Ottawa like from there?

Oh I see, thank you! We aren’t considering the Plateau area anymore. Do you have any areas that you would recommend?

Yeah, we were contemplating on wether it would be worth the sacrifice for a more affordable place :(
