History
The northwest corner of the district was largely undeveloped when the community was first developed; a small motel was in existence on the south-east corner of 16th Avenue and 36th Street NE and a large open field was used for industrial/oilfield storage into the 1970s. The creation of a clover leaf exchange in the early 1970s at that intersection saw the motel demolished. In the 1990s, the final major residential development occurred as houses were added to the western portion of Marlyn Way.

In 2006 the neighbourhood had a population of 8,529.[4] Residents in this community had a median household income of $53,921 in 2000, and there were 17.1% low income residents living in the neighborhood.[1] As of 2000, 30.1% of the residents were immigrants.
