Located south of the city in Osgoode Ward, Greely is currently the largest rural village in terms of land area and the third largest in terms of population in the City of Ottawa. Greely is home to a set of tight-knit and unique communities throughout the village. Most homes sit on 1⁄2-acre to 2-acre lots. Some developers offer condominium-like amenities such as pools, tennis courts, man-made lakes, beaches, and small neighbourhood community centres within their residential communities. The Greely Community Centre hosts meetings and activities for the entire rural town. Every year, they organize a Winter Carnival and a renowned Canada Day celebration.
