During the 1980s and early 1990s Iber Homes constructed large sections of Greenboro. The first phases were called Rosevale Park, and included both singles and townhomes. Later phases were called Rosevale Gardens with larger detached designs. Ottawa Citizen. March 5, 1983 Ottawa Citizen. March 12, 1983 Ottawa Citizen. April 13, 1983 Ottawa Citizen.

Thanks again to blog reader Janine for inspiring me to continue with a series of blog posts on Greenboro. In this post, I look at the origins of the neighbourhood, as it is truly unique in Ottawa. The Greenboro neighbourhood stands out from surrounding areas due to its generous greenspace surrounding the houses. In later phases the amount of greenspace was reduced, but is still high. Below is a Google map with the Greenboro area highlighted in yellow. There is noticeably more green space within the neighbourhood compared to the adjacent areas. Over the coming months I will be posting on the different residential pockets within Greenboro. So far, I have posted on a few areas in Greenboro. I will update the list as new posts are added.
