I checked there too. Because it is close to downtown by car. I gave up later after checking other things.
1) If you take bus it still takes more than 45 min to downtown.
2) The elementary schools are very bad at about 2000 range in 2000s Ontario schools. Since in Canada the school grades reflect family more than school teacher. You can see the average family education level is below average.
3)Some streets are good. But more blocks are mixed with town homes and smaller houses. Even the houses have similar age as centrepointe but conditional are worse. So the people there do not take care them very well.

1. It takes only 25 minutes from Greenboro to downtown at peak hours, since bus 84 can take you to downtown directly.
2. Dunlop (near Greenboro),is rated as top 10 elementary schools in Ottawa. The top ones are (school names, public schools only):
1). Devonshire
2). Woodroff Ave.
3). First Avenue
4). Pleasant Park
5). Mutchmor
6). Rockcliffe Park
7). Kanata
8). Dunlop
9). Knoxdale
10).Broadview Avenue
The above info is quoted form Report Card on Ontario's Elementary Schools, 2005 Ed, The Fraser Institute. It took me a while to do the research.
3. Every community has townhomes and small single houses, which is the design strategy by the City of Ottawa. There are all big single houses in Upper Hurt Club, a relative new developed area constructed by Minto.

Hunt club park is at east of Greenboro. You have to take another bus to Greenboro. I checked the octranspo travel planer, it shows me about 45min to downtown.
As you can see Hunt club park is not Greenboro. You can't go to Dunlop. Upper hunt club is not Hunt club park too. There are different neighborhood.
The house in Greenboro and hunt club park are more expensive than
Hunt club park.
