There’s this myth that renting is inferior to homeownership.

That’s simply not true.

Sure, owning a home means you’re building equity, making money by owning a home. But it’s not the only investment, it’s just one option. We all have to live somewhere, and for many people, renting is a smart move financially and can be equal to, if not better than, owning a home, if you do it right.

Renting is less expensive. Your rent is fixed for at least 12 months, so it’s easy to budget. It increases incrementally and offers no surprise fees. A house will always need work – a roof, furnace, windows, a plumber, an appliance – all of which are out-of-pocket expenses. Factor in a lawnmower and snowblower – that’s not just money, but labour, too. If you’re thinking condo, monthly maintenance fees are over and above the mortgage and utilities, as well as in-suite plumbing issues should they occur.

Renters have lower insurance rates and less bills – and if you rent “all inclusive”, everything is included in the rent. As for that cashout you get when you sell your home? Take all of the money you’re not spending on repairs and upkeep and either use it now to enjoy a lifestyle, or find a good financial advisor and get that nice nest egg growing. Better than a home, you can access your investments as you need them and you don’t have to wait until you sell your home to leverage your own money.

So enjoy renting and when it’s time to make a move, let Renters Guide help. You can also check us out at NextHome.ca, and get ready to find your new next home!

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

HINTONBURG ECLECTIC AND VIBRANT

by DAVID LINDSAY

+MORE PHOTOS AND STATS ONLINE: nexthome.ca/hintonburg One of Ottawa’s earliest suburban centres, Hintonburg, is located south of Mechanicsville, which used to be home to blue-collar workers but is now known for its artisanal coffee roasting. The area is north of the Civic Hospital and east of Westboro. For all of its modern advances, Hintonburg still manages to retain its quiet charm.

Hintonburg enjoys an extremely broad appeal. You see it in the variety of private and familyowned businesses and restaurants in the area. The neighbourhood is great for pedestrians and bikes, which is lucky because the shops along Wellington Avenue are best taken in leisurely.

Residents also enjoy access to the natural beauty along the NCCmanicured paths that run beside the Sir John A. McDonald Parkway.

Residents here embrace variety.

Hintonburg offers an enticing array of things to see and do for any taste or interest. Like to cook?

Visit chef shops and the Parkdale Market for farm-fresh Ontariogrown produce and local goods.

Crave activity? Bike, run, or crosscountry ski along the Ottawa River. Hintonburg leads the way in balancing the variety of urban life without sacrificing the comforts of a smaller community.

The family-friendly area is home to public and private schools and is in close range of the Ottawa Civic Hospital.

Ottawa’s increased investment in transit infrastructure continues to ensure that area residents will be bussing in efficiency and will benefit from the upcoming light rail services through the

downtown core, while ongoing bike-sharing programs continue to gain popularity, too. Meanwhile, those with cars are served by easy access to Ottawa’s 417 (a.k.a. the “Queensway”).

Hintonburg is extremely pedestrian-friendly, although those without cars will be bussing to the grocers when they grow tired of boutique food and artisanal pricing. Car owners will find themselves snapping up parking spots, which are an increasingly scarce commodity here.

David Lindsay is a writer and full-time Ottawa resident, raised and educated in the NCR (National Capital Region, to the out-of-towner). This hometown boy wants you to know that Ottawa isn’t all stuffy bureaucracy, stone capital buildings, or a hockey team allergic to the playoffs – we also value meticulous lawn-care.

ALL-WEATHER FURNITURE Canadian summers are short – so maximizing your enjoyment of the outdoors is key! Whether it’s a garden or a condo balcony, your outdoor space should be an extension of your inside living space.

That’s also why having furniture that looks just as good indoors as it does outside helps – you can use it inside in the winter as an occasional chair!

Choose pieces with unexpected angles and shapes to give extra dimension and interest to your room. Just like adding texture, adding sculptural details boosts the design quotient of a space instantly.

RIOCAN ENTERS RESIDENTIAL RENTAL MARKET WITH

RIOCAN LIVING RioCan announced on March 5 it is moving into the residential rental market with the launch of RioCan Living. The new brand will see selected existing retail shopping centres turned into mixeduse communities, marking the company’s official, and permanent, entry into the residential market.

“Over the last 25 years, we have accumulated a unique portfolio of income-producing properties with significant redevelopment potential, strategically situated on or near existing or approved transit lines,” says Ed Sonshine, chief executive officer of RioCan. “During that same time, a large shortage of new purpose-built rental buildings has emerged in Canada’s urban centres.”

Jonathan Gitlin, senior vice-president, Investments & Residential, says RioCan is uniquely positioned to address the rental void by pursuing the highest and best use of its assets on behalf of unitholders. “It’s incumbent upon RioCan to figure out ways to make our properties better, more effective, and more valuable. At the same time, we are delivering best-in-class, professionally managed residential units at a significant scale to the cities and communities that need it most.”

RioCan has identified 43 projects within its portfolio as mixed-use residential opportunities with the potential to translate to more than 20,000 residences in Canada’s six major markets. All but a few of the projects are currently slated to house rental apartments, with proposed developments ranging from affordable to ultra-luxury. All will be developed and managed to

impeccable standards, backed by RioCan’s proven track record.

There are currently approximately 2,800 units (consisting of approximately 2,100 residential rental units and more than 700 condo units) spread between eight RioCan Living projects that are, or will soon be, under construction, with the first rental completion scheduled for as early as the first quarter of 2019. Of the projects actively under development, six are in Toronto, one is in Calgary and one is in Ottawa. Each of the eight properties is located along a major public transit corridor, with locations in Toronto ranging from prominent intersections such as Yonge and Eglinton, Front and Spadina and College Street, and existing shopping centres including Gloucester Silver City Shopping Centre in Ottawa and Brentwood Village in Calgary.

“Building on or close to transit will allow us to deliver sustainable, livable communities that minimize the impact on the environment while offering future residents the opportunity to live, work and play within a reasonable distance,” says Sonshine. “We want RioCan Living buildings to stand out from the pack. We’re working with bestin-class designers and trades to develop communities that will stand the test of time. We intend to become one of the leading residential landlords in the country.”

Gitlin adds each new residential development will share a distinct set of characteristics that will define RioCan Living communities moving forward. These include: easy access to major commuter

Riocan property located near Gloucester Silver City Shopping Centre in Ottawa.

routes; world-class architecture and iconic locations; communityfocused animation and event programming; standout amenities that cater to the needs of residents; and retail experiences curated by retail experts.

RECIPE

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Simple to make and super nutritious, this homemade granola recipe is a perfect way to ensure you start the morning off right! We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But mornings can be busy, right? Make this recipe in advance (you can store it for up to two weeks) so you have it ready to go. Also, this granola can be made without nuts and works well with many substitutions. Enjoy making your own tailor-made version.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

2 cups

PREHEAT the oven to 300 F.

steel-cut oats

1/2 cup hemp hearts 1/2 cup chia seeds 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 1/2 cup walnuts 2 tbsp

cinnamon

2 tbsp

coconut oil

3 tbsp

maple syrup

1 tsp

vanilla extract

COMBINE all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, whisk coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla until combined and warmed (about 2-3 minutes).

POUR wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well (don’t be afraid to use your hands!).

ON a baking sheet, spread the mixture in a thin layer and bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Make sure granola has completely cooled before serving or storing.

KEEP your granola in an airtight container (such as a mason jar) in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
