As a part of Ottawa, Nepean offers a great sense of calm to people seeking a timeout in nature. All that access to green spaces, waterfront areas and peaceful hiking trails is what attracts families, professionals and retirees alike—not only to spend a day in nature—but to settle into homes of their own. While it is a rewarding experience to own a property, it involves a lot of responsibility, during which sunk costs are inevitable. Homeowners always make sure that they keep a certain percentage aside for annual home maintenance, such as their piping system.
