Contractors in Meadowlands

Meadowlands is a residential neighbourhood in College Ward developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s by builders including Minto and Campeau. Part of the larger Crestview-Meadowlands community association area, the neighbourhood features predominantly bungalows on well-treed lots. Formerly part of Nepean before amalgamation, Meadowlands maintains a quiet suburban character.

About Meadowlands

Meadowlands was developed in the 1950s and 1960s, part of the post-war suburban expansion of what was then Nepean Township. Major builders including Minto and Campeau created the neighbourhood's predominantly bungalow housing stock, which remains the area's defining characteristic.

The neighbourhood features large, well-treed lots typical of 1950s-1960s suburban development. Wide streets without sidewalks reflect the era's development standards. Meadowlands Drive serves as the neighbourhood's main arterial, connecting to the broader Fisher Glen area.

Together with neighbouring Crestview, Meadowlands is served by the Crestview-Meadowlands Community Association. The area joined Ottawa through the 2001 amalgamation.

Location & Boundaries

Meadowlands is bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Woodroffe Avenue to the west, the CN rail corridor to the south, and Merivale Road to the east. Meadowlands Drive runs through the neighbourhood, connecting to Fisher Heights and the broader Fisher Glen area.
