I am renting in a Minto building, 1755 Riverside Drive, K1G 3T6. This location is perfect; the transit bus station is basically in front of the building so in the winter I jump in the bus and go to the Rideau centre for shopping with no worries that it is too cold
. I have busses every minute and the bus station has an elevator. It takes 10 minutes to the ByMarket but at the same time I can get to the airport in 25 min by bus, direct line (97). The area is open and with the Rideau river and the Riverside park in front. The view I have is absolutely perfect. And, I do not have a car. I use public transportation and rent occasionally the car.
Minto has two buildings in this area. There are three more building for renting. I like the location better than the ones downtown because it is perfectly connected through the transit, close to the Rideau Centre and By Market area but at the same time it has green space, the park and the river.
For the one bedroom I pay $1000. The building is really nice, modern, renovated a few years ago, with gym and pool and most important it is kept spotless.
