Questions about Ottawa

[OTSkyline]

Random question, hopefully some people can chime in and provide feedback.

My partner and I are looking to purchase a home in the west end of the city around Woodroffe & Carling. Apparently the neighbourhood is called Whitehaven? I don't have much experience in the west end of the city as I've always lived very centrally..

-Wondering if you guys can provide feedback on neighborhood. The neighbourhood looks very nice but we find Carling Ave to be a very mixed bag, not sure around surrounding areas.

-Carlingwood mall nearby seems old and in need of a refresh. Are there any big redevelopment plans for it? Tried to browse through the threads on here but couldn't find anything specific. There's a big construction project going on there right now, didn't know if it's a tower/rental project of it's a new Canadian Tire? I was confused..

Any tips or feedback would help and be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
