Where in Ottawa should I look for a townhouse rental??

Question

I am looking for a townhouse rental located on the Ottawa side within 10-15 minutes drive of Portage Bridge. I would appreciate any advice you have on where I should look. I've been searching online (I currently do not live in Ottawa and cannot go to Ottawa to physically look, except for a 2 day house hunting trip in one month's time). However, my main problem is that I am unfamiliar with Ottawa and am having a hard time figuring out what neighbourhoods to look in for a townhouse rental. I have a young child and am a single mom. We do not use the bus at all, and have a car. I am not willing to commute as we are moving to Ottawa specifically to escape the commuting curse we are stuck in now. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you have!

Hey welcome to our Town !   I think it might be tricky to find affordable townhouse rentals that are 10-15 minutes range of Portage Bridge - a little further (to the west) you might want to look for these names in the ads: Parkwood Hills or Centrepointe or Pinecrest/Greenbank or Bayshore neighbourhoods - these maybe have possibilities for you.

All the best in your search ...Laura
