Our relationship with our neighbour communities is respectful. We work to preserve and enhance Grandview Heights’ natural and built assets.
Our community has been designed with innovation and quality; these unique features have made a place that is a happy and healthy ‘home’, embodied with community pride and spirit. Our neighborhood is a place that is safe and welcoming.
