</blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Enter: Ottawa. According to the ranking, Ottawa secured the second spot on the ranking due in part to its strong showing on <a href="https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/country_result.jsp?country=Canada">Numbeo's Quality of Life Index</a>, where it actually ranks number one. It scores so highly thanks to its top hospitals, low rates of crime, and mild traffic and pollution.</p><p>Ottawa is also punching way above its weight when it comes to affordability, with above-average access to homeownership due to lower housing costs, and a more reasonable cost of living compared to other major cities (around $1,479 per month for a single person). </p><p>The average salary in Ottawa sits around $64,995, and the average home price is $719,800. It's a combination that's getting harder to find in Canada's biggest hubs, which means there's more breathing room to actually enjoy what the city has to offer.</p><p>Residents can explore the city's unique mix of attractions, from Parliament Hill and the 202-kilometre-long Rideau Canal to the always-busy ByWard Market, where local food stalls and quirky boutiques make it a go-to spot for weekend wandering. </p><p>History buffs can dive into the Canadian War Museum or the Canadian Museum of Nature, while anyone who loves green space will appreciate the city's countless parks, bike paths, and easy access to nature.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_SsISUx_fJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
