About Cityview
Cityview, also known as St. Claire Gardens, developed on former farmland from the 1930s to 1960s as Ottawa expanded westward. The area was significant enough to become a police village from 1954 to 1974, providing local governance before joining the City of Nepean.
Most homes in Cityview are bungalows, split-level houses, and side-split designs popular in mid-century suburban development. The neighbourhood offers a wide variety of housing options ranging from detached single-family homes to townhouses and semi-detached properties.
Since the early 2000s, some original homes have been demolished and replaced with infill development. This trend has continued into the mid-2020s, gradually introducing newer housing stock while the majority of homes retain their mid-century character.
Location & Boundaries
Cityview is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Merivale Road to the east, and Woodroffe Avenue to the west. The neighbourhood is part of the larger Crestview-Meadowlands area in the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study. Historic police village boundaries extended from parallel to Baseline Road south to Capilano Drive.
