Quick move?

Tomorrow, [livejournal.com profile] soul_diaspora are going to look very seriously at a townhouse in Kanata, and we might even sign. It's about a mile and a half from where I work.

It's a bit... scary? exhilarating? Both?

Advice welcome!

Being able to walk to work is great and all, but Kanata is hell to travel about without a car. Yes, you have a car, but there are two of you, so when you want to go to different places, one of you is inevitably screwed. I'd go so far as to say that moving to Kanata means looking at buying a second car too. Being trapped in Kanata is not pleasant, as I recall (though I'll admit I never had access to a car whilst I was there). Even on the transitway in Kanata you're forty minutes away from Ottawa for all intents and purposes. :(

I'm guessing that price is low enough, and being able to walk to work is a big draw. Just remember it gets pretty damn cold here, too. =p

Thanks!

It gets "cold" here if you're from Toronto; if you're from Jonquière, it gets "cool". It's typically about 6 deg. "cooler" there.

I don't think we will need a second car, given our lifestyle, the work access, and transit access, unless I get a job somewhere well away from here.
