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.
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.
