Alta Vista is one of Ottawa’s older established neighbourhoods, and the
homes reflect it. Bigger lots, mature trees, and a lot of original
1950s and 60s construction that’s been renovated in pieces rather than
all at once.
That mix is what makes these cleans different. Original hardwood needs a
different approach than the engineered floors in a new build. Older
bathrooms have grout and fixtures that have been there for decades, and
they respond to patience rather than pressure. And a house that’s been
added to over the years usually has one room that everyone else skips.
