While there were some homes in the area prior to 1946, the bulk of residential construction occurred after the end of World War II with seven out of ten (71%) residences being built between 1946 and 1960. Most of the remaining three in ten were built during the 1960s, with a small number built during the 1970s. Most dwellings in the neighbourhood are single family dwellings, though there are some duplexes, row houses and a few low rise apartment buildings. Roughly three out of four households have two or more people.[2]
