Rothwell Heights

Known for its stunning forested landscapes, expansive lots, and iconic modernist architecture, Rothwell Heights is one of Ottawa’s most distinctive and prestigious residential communities. Many of the neighbourhood’s original homes were designed in the 1950s and 1960s by pioneering architects who embraced innovative design principles and sought to harmonize their creations with the area's natural surroundings. Their legacy continues to define the character of the community today.

​

Rothwell Heights remains a highly sought-after setting for both carefully preserved mid-century residences and contemporary custom homes that respect the neighbourhood’s unique environmental and architectural heritage. Residents enjoy an exceptional quality of life, with easy access to scenic walking trails, conservation lands, the Ottawa River pathway network, and abundant green space, making it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts.

​

Despite its tranquil, secluded atmosphere, Rothwell Heights offers convenient access to the rest of the city. The neighbourhood is well connected by OC Transpo bus routes along nearby Montreal Road and the Aviation Parkway corridor, providing links to Ottawa’s rapid transit network and key destinations such as downtown Ottawa, Blair Station, and major employment centres. Residents also benefit from quick access to Highway 174, making commuting across the National Capital Region efficient and convenient.
