The Carlingwood Shopping Centre was built in 1956 at the corner of Carling and Woodroffe. The surrounding neighbourhood would be built later in the decade.[3] Somserset Towers and the Saville Apartments (then known as Saville Terrace)[4] were built in the early 1960s, and Bromley Square was built in the early 1970s.

Carlingwood is home to two parks, Westwood and Woodroffe. It is also home of Woodroffe Avenue Public School, Our Lady of Fatima School and the Ottawa Public Library Carlingwood Branch. Churches in Carlingwood include Our Lady of Fatima Catholic, Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral Assumption Of The Blessed Virgin, Woodroffe United, St. Martin's Anglican, and Bromley Road Baptist.
