Contractors in Fisher Heights

Fisher Heights is a family-friendly neighbourhood in the former City of Nepean, developed beginning in the 1950s where the former police village of City View once stood at Baseline and Merivale Roads. The area features detached single-family homes on large lots with mature trees, adjacent to the Central Experimental Farm. The Fisher Heights & Area Community Association (FHACA) serves residents.

About Fisher Heights

Fisher Heights occupies land that was once the police village of City View, centered on the busy intersection of Merivale and Baseline Roads. When the Fisher Heights subdivision began construction in the 1950s, City View's separate identity faded as the area developed into today's residential neighbourhood.

The former Fisher Heights Public School operated from 1954 until 1988 and is now home to the Ottawa Islamic School, reflecting the neighbourhood's evolution over decades. Development continued through the 1970s, creating the mix of housing ages present today.

Sitting about eight kilometres from downtown Ottawa, Fisher Heights is adjacent to the Central Experimental Farm, providing residents with exceptional access to green space and recreational trails. The neighbourhood features detached single-family homes on generous lots with mature trees.

Location & Boundaries

Fisher Heights is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Fisher Avenue to the east, Meadowlands Drive to the south, and Merivale Road to the west. The area also covers Skyline, Orchard Park, and Parkwood Hills North.
