There is a 24 hour convenience store at the corner, along with a gas station and yes - a Tim Hortons. This is Canada - there are lots of Tim Hortons! My neighbourhood is called Greenboro because of the extensive parks and green space. There are tennis courts (free), paved and lit paths ideal for cycling, walking, and running. A community centre and public library is just down the street, with soccer fields, wading pool, and children's playground behind it.

South Keys is a shopping centre 2.5 km away, and Billings Bridge and St Laurent Mall are both within 15 minute drives. However the real treat of this area is that the bus on the corner can take you to the downtown core in 30 minutes. Visit the Parliament buildings, browse in the unique stores of the Byward Market, boat or skate along the Rideau Canal, hike or cycle in the Gatineau Hills, visit museums, and the National Art Gallery of Canada - which has the famous Maman sculpture by Louise Bourgeois.
