Live by the lake
Rosebank by the Lake is a new neighbourhood in an established area of southwest Pickering. Located by Rosebank Road just north of Lake Ontario, Rosebank by the Lake is in the midst of a thriving community. Schools, parks, stores and other conveniences are already built and just a short walk away. Mature trees line the streets, creating a lush haven in the spring and summer months. Time-honoured traditions abound here: parents walking their kids to school; neighbours gathering In front yards for relaxed evening chats; families enjoying bike rides and picnics on hot summer days. It’s the best of both worlds: a new home in an old neighbourhood, abounding with trees and parks, and all the services and benefits of big city living.

This highly coveted area in Pickering has Rouge Park to the west and the Petticoat Creek Conservation Area just to the east. To the south is beautiful Lake Ontario, including Rouge Beach. Surrounded by oases of green and wildlife, this area is one of the last in Ontario where you can enjoy the wilderness yet be close to the urban life of downtown Pickering.

The waterfront and Rouge Beach are just minutes away, and boast some of the best waterfront land in Ontario, with a sandy beach and lots of wildlife.
