According to the Carleton Heights and Area Community Association, the neighbourhood is bounded on the north by the Central Experimental Farm, on the east by the Rideau River, on the south by the junction of Prince of Wales Drive and Fisher Avenue and on the west by Fisher Avenue.

[3] Homes were developed after World War II in the main Carleton Heights neighbourhood (then part of Nepean Township), located south of Meadowlands Drive.

[6] Rideau View, located between Dynes and Meadowlands, and east of Claymor Avenue was built next, in the early 1960s.

[7] This area was expanded by the construction of the Debra Dynes Community Housing project, the Prince of Wales Complex and Chateau Royale apartments (east of Prince of Wales) and the Carleton Square neighbourhood (west of Claymor) in the early 1970s.

[8][7] Finally, the Prince of Wales on the Rideau neighbourhood was built in the late 2000s.
