It is the middle of what 1,160 owner households told the 2021 census. For City View there is no published sale price, as for every town in Ontario. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $370,000. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario. Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Ottawa, with City View one part of it.
Two ways to price a home in City View
Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. The census figure is the owner’s own reckoning of value in May 2021; actual sale prices may differ.
