Alta Vista–Elmvale Acres

Overview

Alta Vista–Elmvale Acres is a residential south-end community that grew after Ottawa annexed the area in 1950, with Elmvale Acres built out in the late 1950s by developer Robert Campeau. It is a quiet, family-oriented area with a large amount of parkland, several schools, and places of worship of many faiths — and it is also a major healthcare hub, home to The Ottawa Hospital's General Campus and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Many original post-war homes on large lots are gradually being replaced with larger, newer houses.
