accessdate= 2008-01-05] The housing stock is mostly composed of single-family detached houses, as well as some multiple-unit condominiums.Profile]Willowgrove was planned as a neighbourhood that centered around a village square. It incorporates features from older neighbourhoods (e.g. Nutana) such as narrow, long lots and back lanes. A system of linear parks connects the various parts of the neighbourhood with green spaces, and provides pedestrian linkages. The village square, still under construction at present, will feature limited commercial development as well as higher density residential housing. [cite web
