Neighbourhood Spotlight - Pineview

Located in east Ottawa, in what once was Gloucester, is the neighbourhood of Pineview. Set northwest of Blair and Innes Roads, the area hugs the Pine View Golf Course, with easy highway access to the 417 and 174. When the area was first developed in the 1950s, it was known as Seguin Heights (Maxime Street and Aurele Street). During this time the area was constructed by smaller builders and by owners who contracted to build their own homes. The Seguin Heights name was phased out and replaced with Pineview when the area began to boom in the 1970s. The focus of this blog post will be the developments starting during the boom period c. 1970, up until the end of the 21st century. I have the plans for many of these homes, but I am missing some. If you have any hiding away in your attic or basement, please let me know so I can share them. Below is a map of the area (courtesy of Google Maps) where I have added the details of the various phases of development. Pineview Estates by Wimpey Homes A
