About this Neighborhood

A residential neighbourhood south of Smyth Road in Ottawa, Alta Vista blends walkability (score 73) with real green space — eleven parks and four courts frame a modest fifteen-restaurant scene. Five coffee shops and five grocers keep daily life close. The local favorites are welcoming: Pelican Seafood Market & Grill for the catch, Allo Mon Coco for brunch, and Sweet Basil Restaurant for Thai. Foursquare tastes point to a family-and-community mix — a dog park, sports bar, grocery and coffee shops, plus donut stops and sporting-goods retail.
