East Port Cove in Convent Glen

In this final instalment of the series on Convent Glen, I present East Port Cove. Located in the middle-north section of the area, this pocket is sometimes referred to as Hiawatha Park, and was not a part of the original Convent Glen master plan. Much like the  The Neighbourhood in Convent Glen/Eastwood Park , this area was subject to the ups and downs of the real estate market during the 1990s. I have included more newspaper clippings than normal to show the changes. It is clear that the builders were struggling and it took about 8 years to sell this relatively small pocket of homes. In 1990 East Port Cove was launched with a consortium of builders on the project. Over time some of the builders went out of business. The final homes in the area were built by Woodfield Homes and includes a number of custom designs. The Ottawa Citizen. March 3, 1990. The Ottawa Citizen. March 24, 1990. The Ottawa Citizen.
