Rockland, Ontario

Rockland is one of the most beautiful communities in the outlying Ottawa real estate market. This city of approximately 10,000 residents provides a small-town atmosphere without sacrificing any of the perks of being near a metropolitan center. Homes for sale in Rockland are located just 30 minutes from Parliament Hill, and the town boasts a growing public transit system that makes it easy to commute for work or for play.

The Rockland Community

Rockland is historically a bilingual community. It sits on the shores of the great Ottawa River, and was founded by the Edwards, who ran a large sawmill in the area. Even today, the landscape is dotted by numerous and easily recognizable "company" homes.

But this part of Ontario also offers a vibrant modern community. New family homes for sale in Rockalnd, condos, and retail outlets (including big box stores) are sprouting out of newly developed subdivisions and commercial centres—and the town is situated only 12 minutes from one of the largest shopping malls in Ottawa.

The city is extremely well-equipped for recreation. Here you'll find YMCA facilities, a recreational complex, brand new ice surfaces that work in tandem with the International Hockey Academy, active parks, neighbourhood parks that are within walking distance of most Rockland real estate, and a beautiful passive waterfront park. (And did we mention the superb 27-hole Outaouais Golf Course? Or the fact that Rockland offers one of the best fishing areas in Ontario?) Even better—every type of sport association attracts volunteers for a true community spirit!

The community offers all kinds of schools: French, English, Catholic, public, and immersion. This educational variability means that real estate in Rockland attracts young families, but also many young professionals and singles hoping to get more out of the place they call home. In fact, despite the town's focus on family, it is also rapidly become a favourite choice of retirees, thanks to the Rockland real estate prices and the beautiful setting that lets you live life at your own pace. No matter what your goals—Rockland is a good place to put down your roots!
