| Homes in Riverside South | NEIGHBOURHOOD DESCRIPTION  Riverside South is one of Ottawa’s newest neighbourhoods, with development initiated in 1996. Projected to be one of the fastest growing communities in the city, it is anticipated to achieve 52.9% annual growth. Its boundaries, which are not yet filled, will be Lietrim Road to its north, the Rideau River to the west, Bowesville road to the east, and an unseen border halfway between Earl Armstrong and Rideau Road as the southern boundary. By 2025, it is expected to house a population of over 50,000.
In the early 1990s this area was mostly vacant with a few houses and some farms. However, over the last few years there is an extensive housing development that seems to be growing in the pace of other major communities such as Barrhaven, Kanata and Orleans. With such rapid growth, it was important to design the neighbourhood with utmost respect to the natural landscape. There are 750 acres of environmentally protected areas, including forests, ravines, meandering pathways and a waterfront park for all residents to enjoy. Riverside South is a short drive away from convenient shopping, plenty of schools and medical centres. |
