When you buy in Rothwell Heights, you are not just buying a home - you are buying a lifestyle!
Rothwell Heights is an established family neighbourhood of exclusive homes in a picturesque parkland setting just minutes to downtown. Recreational activities are right on your doorstep. Walk in almost any direction along the tree-lined streets and you'll hit parkland, the Ottawa River path, woods and tennis courts. Walkers, joggers, and cyclists are everywhere and, in the winter, they turn to the outdoor rinks, toboggan hills and cross-country trails. Your children can take advantage of the many activities such as little league baseball, soccer, football, gymnastics, figure skating, ringette, scouts and guides in the area. Enjoy boating from the public boat launch at the end of Massey Lane. There is also an active community organization for residents of all ages. The welcoming and friendly nature of the residents gives the area a true village like atmosphere.
