It is a suburban subdivision, consisting of low-density, single detached dwellings, low-rise apartment buildings and semi-detached houses.

[3] Another proposed but undeveloped subdivision called "Preston Place" was in Eastview's southwest corner.

When the streets were named in 1964, the neighbourhood was on the city's eastern edge, giving its residents a true "east view".

[20] Commercial development is limited to the Eastview Shopping Centre, a strip mall on Arlington Avenue.

It is bounded by Louise Street to the north, Circle Drive to the south and east, and Preston Avenue to the west.

An interchange at Preston Avenue South and Circle Drive, in the planning since the 1960's was completed in the fall of 2013.
