About Manor Park
Manor Park is a neighbourhood in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward, in the east end of Ottawa, on the east side of Rockcliffe Park. According to Wikipedia, it is almost exclusively residential, and most of its housing was built in the late 1940s and early 1950s by a consortium of five Ottawa-area developers. It was considered "Canada's first completely co-ordinated community". The Village of Cardinal Glen sub-neighbourhood was begun by Timberlay Homes in 1988. In the 2021 census, the ONS counts 8,060 residents and 4,350 private dwellings. About 52% of households rent, and apartments in buildings of five or more storeys make up 44% of dwellings.
Boundaries
Wikipedia describes Manor Park as bounded on the north by the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway, on the east by the Aviation Parkway, on the south by Montréal Road and on the west by Birch Avenue. It lies on the east side of Rockcliffe Park, in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward. The ONS draws its own Manor Park boundary (Gen 3), which the statistics here follow, so the two may not match exactly.
