Longfields
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Longfields is a community located in Ottawa, Ontario. This recent neighborhood is located within the growing suburb of Barrhaven in the city's southwest and bordered by Longfields Drive, Strandherd Drive and Woodroffe Avenue.
Longfields was mostly built in the late 1990's during Barrhaven major expansion during that period. Today, there is still development underway particularly near the intersection of Longfields Drive and Strandherd Road in which it is conjunction of the development of Chapman Hills located just to the south of it (south of Strandherd). Barrhaven's most recent high school, Mother Teresa, was built there alongside an elementary school : Pierre Elliott Trudeau. There are future plans for low-rise condominiums buildings. The future southwest Transitway extension will travel just north of the community along the VIA Rail train line, but it is unclear whether a transit station will be built.
There are also plans for major development south of Longfields with a large employment zone as well as the expansion of the north-south light rail project scheduled to operate in 2009-2010.
