Longfields was mostly built in the early 1990s during a period of major expansion. Barrhaven's most recent high school, Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, is located in this neighbourhood. Also, a station in the transitway corridor (also named Longfields) was built and opened in the Spring of 2011 [1][2].
There are also plans for major development south of Longfields with a large employment zone as well as a possible expansion of the O-Train north-south light rail project.
