EXCLUSIVE VIDEO ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/westboro-village
Easier to find We realize that there are many different ways to search out that next home. That’s why we’ve made it our priority to make that home easier for you to find. While price and size are always a big part of the equation, location is the factor that will affect you most. Whether you want to be closer to work, closer to amenities that matter to your lifestyle, closer to the city – or further from it – the challenge is to find a home search tool that will give you all of those answers. That’s precisely why we’ve developed maps with extensive neighbourhood data on YPNextHome.ca.
These maps make it easy to find not just a home but also find out what is within the area, with stats about the community and its residents. YPNextHome.ca offers neighbourhood profiles as well as guided tours by our team of experts – and this is connected to the maps so that there’s no secondary search. We’ve made it easy for you to familiarize yourself with a community and find out detailed insights, from the area hotspots and accessibility, to its proximity to the city centre. We hope you find this experience helpful. Let us know, we’d love to hear from you!

Some think this is a great time of year to move, others try to avoid it. I think it doesn’t matter the date, the weather or the season – when it’s time to move you need to start looking. Living in the right place adds satisfaction to your life. Why wait and endure issues when you can be moving onto something that will better suit your needs? Take advantage of this great aspect of renting – the ease of change. It’s not complicated, like selling a home,
so exercise this opportunity and get yourself into a home that works for you – budget, size, location, style and community. There’s nothing like the perfect apartment to make your home a total haven. This issue we’ve got some great apartment living advice, plus more on ypnexthome.ca. Visit our website, search our YPNextHome App and get ready to make your move! Season’s Greetings and all the best for the new year!

WESTBORO RUNS FROM the
Transitway up to Carling Ave., and along Tweedsmuir Ave. to Denbury Ave. This area is the epitome of posh. Where else will you find fit moms in Lululemon yoga pants pushing the trendiest, most expensive strollers, carrying designer handbags? It’s a great area and it’s got it all. This is a trendy, active area where most people have dogs, kids, and a six figure income. You can even bring your dog into most of the stores here! Many residents have to commute to work, but once they come home, they have everything they need right at their doorstep.
Over the years, Westboro has given itself a much needed facelift. Richmond Rd. is lined with speciality stores, high end fashion boutiques, restaurants and bakeries. The local coffee shops are filled with runners, cyclists, baby strollers – even at the earliest hours of the morning. Westboro is not for the lazy! This place is full of driven, successful people, who strive for the best. And it shows. Westboro appeals to all ages, but is most popular with families and retirees. Why? Because it’s safe, it’s trendy, it has everything you need, and it’s still close enough
to downtown and the rest of the city. This is an area that is health conscious, active and thriving. Westboro draws in professionals with money to spend. Residents can make use of the Transitway, the many bus stops along Richmond Road, the O-Train, and the light rail train (LRT) which will be coming soon. Visitors and residents can also take advantage of the many bike paths, and the Hwy. 417 is only a quick drive down the road.
Lindsay has lived in the Ottawa/Gatineau area her whole life. When she’s not touring the city in search of the hottest new neighbourhood spots, she’s busy writing fiction and enjoying life with her husband and two dogs. lindsay_foran01@hotmail.com

Advice | RENTAL RANTINGS
Prep your rental for
your vacation! By Jennifer Braun

THE THOUGHT OF A VACATION always sounds relaxing – until you actually have to plan for it. That’s when you realize you have 5,000 things to worry about before your feet hit the sand. I’m talking about those little details that can ruing a trip – like misplacing your passport, wondering if you locked the back door and of forgetting to ask your parents to feed the cat. Then there’s the anxiety that comes with actually leaving. Those four walls hold all your worldly positions, so it’s kind of normal that it’s totally a big deal. Still, it’s getting cold, and you have earned a vacation. Don’t let fear stand between you and the perfect tan. Just follow these simple steps for peace of mind that your rental will still be standing when you return. LEAVE YOUR HOME KEY WITH SOMEONE YOU TRUST This is one of those moments where you realize how valuable a good relationship with the neighbours can be. If you’re living in a secure building, you shouldn’t really be letting your friends come and go while you are away, and it’s easier to have someone as close as next door to check on your place. If you’re comfortable with it, tell your neighbour the details of your trip and give them access to your home in case of any emergencies. TELL YOUR LANDLORD In your lease agreement there may be information about vacation procedure (check it!). Either way, let your landlord know if you will be away in case they need to get in touch with you to plan repairs or gain access to your apartment or for any other emergencies. CLEAN YOUR RENTAL Cleaning your rental seems pretty obvious, but it requires a bit more attention before you leave on vacation. Don’t fool yourself in believing that leaving a couple of dirty dishes on the counter won’t make a difference. It will! Do a thorough cleaning. Clean out your fridge of any perishables that wont be good once you come back home. Most importantly, make sure you take out the trash. You don’t want to come home to any surprising odours. DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR DOG/CAT If you’re not bringing your furry friends with you, plan to have someone take care of them. It’s a big responsibility and you wouldn’t leave them with just anyone. Don’t leave this important detail to the last second. If a pet-sitter, daily dog-walker or cat companion isn’t a possibility, boarding may be the answer. Don’t leave pets unattended for long stretches. Just don’t. DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING To really ensure you won’t be worrying about your home while on the beach, double check everything! Make a list if you have tob and cross things off once you checked them to make sure you did in fact get them all done. Now you’re ready for a well deserved vacation! Want to share the scoop on your vacation prep? Perahps you have questions about rental living in general – get in touch! Just send us an email with your questions to AskRentersGuide@ypnexthome.ca - perhaps the answer you need will be in the next Rental Rantings!

Warm up your home for the holidays It’s that time of year – time to warm up your home for the holidays! When we say “Warm up your home” we don’t just mean turning up heat, we mean adding that loving warmth, comfort and coziness that will enchant your guests and make your home feel most inviting.
1. Invest in cashmere
Did someone say cashmere? The softness and warmth speak for themselves, cashmere just gets better with age. Invest in good cashmere throws and they’ll last a lifetime – and when company comes on a cold, crisp evening, it’s the perfect warm embrace to take the chill out.
2. Stay warm under a duvet
There’s nothing as snuggly as a good sleep under a big, thick duvet. Goose down is known for its warmth and luxurious loft. It’s the ideal way to warm up the guest room this holiday season, and an obvious way to treat yourself and loved ones to a good night’s sleep!
See Elisa Krovblit’s full list inspiration for warming up your home for the holidsay online. Read the full story…
