After being annexed to the city in 1907, the area that is known as the Roxboro community was officially established in 1923. In 1968, the community of Roxboor was incorporated into one community with Rideau Park. Today, the community is bound to the north and to the west by the Elbow River, to the east by the Escarpment and to the south by 33 Avenue and 4 Street. Surrounded by natural amenities, the small inner-city of Roxboro consists primarily of single-family dwellings located near to the downtown area.

Thanks to the location of the community of Roxboro, residents do not have to travel far if they wish to reach the Downtown area. In fact, Downtown is located just 2.5 kilometres away via 4th Street S.W. The community is also located near to Macleod Trail, the pathway system and the natural amenities provided by the Elbow River. As such, many parts of the community provide excellent views of the city as well as the nearby mountains. The community centre also provides residents with access to an outdoor skating rink as well as tennis courts.
