It's better than Edmonton, but like every Canadian city except Montreal, it's terrible.

Just don't come to Toronto. Rent sucks, public transit sucks, etc.
Toronto is the worst city on planet earth.

I moved to Ottawa 4 years ago and love the city. Yeah it can't rival Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto, but it doesn't need to.
As a real answer, if you can spend $1200/m on rent you can live in any neighbourhood to various degrees. I'd recommend Centretown. It is less grungy than Byward market, while still having nice nightlife and a more mid-twenties crowd compared to the more 19-21 crowd you'll get in the market a lot of the time. It also has the canal which is nice both in summer and winter.
Don't live in one of the suburbs unless you enjoy nothing interesting around and $30 uber rides each way to go out with friends. (Learned this the hard way when I first moved here without knowing anything about the city). Stay out of Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata. Vanier is a cheap option for outskirts of downtown-ish life.
I personally enjoy ottawa as I get to live the downtown life while having a parking spot and having a view of the canal. It's a beautiful city that is quite nice for biking and has the benefit of a few major sports teams, Gatineau park and all the museums.
When I was single I found it was great for dating too. Lots of cute girls in a city of 1m and lots of fun places to go. My biggest disappointment is no bands stop in Ottawa, so I either have to go to Montreal, if they even come there, or Toronto.
Leading a recommendation with "it can't rival Toronto" is not a recommendation.
