A lakeside pocket in Pickering where space, light, and community come together
Rosebank is the kind of neighbourhood that feels like a well-kept secret—a waterfront pocket where the city melts into birdsong and tree-lined streets. You can walk the kids to school, wander greenbelt trails on a Saturday morning, and still make it downtown before your coffee cools.
This four-bedroom, 2,600-square-foot home fits right in with that easygoing vibe. The main floor flows from a combined living and dining space into a huge, sunlit eat-in kitchen that spills into the family room, complete with a cozy fireplace. The kitchen and baths have already been thoughtfully updated, meaning you can move in comfortably without major renovations. Natural light pours through oversized windows, and the double garage is a bonus for families with bikes, gear, or that second car you swore you’d never need.
Upstairs, the primary suite is big enough for a king bed plus a reading nook, with a walk-in closet and an ensuite that looks out over the gardens. Three more bedrooms give everyone their own space. Outside, the backyard is perfectly sized for barbecues and lazy afternoons. Downstairs, the unfinished basement—with a rough-in for a bathroom—lets you dream big: home theatre, gym, or playroom.
It’s move-in ready, low on hassle, and quietly perched in one of Pickering’s most desirable lakefront enclaves—just waiting for its next chapter.
The Neighbourhood
Tucked between the Rouge River and Petticoat Creek, Rosebank is Pickering’s quietly coveted waterfront enclave. Wide, tree-lined streets give way to generous lots and a mix of mid-century homes, tasteful rebuilds, and modern lakefront estates. The neighbourhood feels more like a leafy village than a Toronto suburb: you hear birdsong from Petticoat Creek Conservation Area, catch glimpses of Lake Ontario at the end of winding roads, and wave to neighbours walking their dogs at sunset.
Rosebank’s draw is its balance of seclusion and access. It offers a slower pace beside the water—yet Highway 401 and GO Transit are minutes away, putting downtown Toronto within easy reach. Families prize its well-regarded schools and proximity to trails, marinas, and shoreline parks. It’s a pocket of calm for those who want the lake at their doorstep without sacrificing city convenience—a place where space, nature, and community quietly converge.

Lakeside calm
Where nature and neighbourhood meet
Rosebank feels a world away from the city without ever leaving it. Tucked between the Rouge River and Petticoat Creek, the streets open onto generous lots shaded by mature trees, with glimpses of Lake Ontario peeking between homes. Weekend mornings bring joggers to the waterfront trails and kayakers to the marinas, while Petticoat Creek Conservation Area hums with birdsong. It’s a pocket of Pickering that still feels like a lakeside village—serene, spacious, and quietly beautiful.
Connected Community
Family-friendly living with city convenience
Despite its secluded vibe, Rosebank keeps Toronto close. Highway 401 and GO Transit are minutes away, making downtown commutes manageable. Families prize the well-regarded schools and the sense of community—you’ll see neighbours waving on evening dog walks or gathering at local parks. Add in the easy access to shoreline paths, playgrounds, and community events, and Rosebank becomes more than a neighbourhood: it’s a place where space, nature, and connection converge.
In a city defined by hustle, Rosebank moves to its own rhythm — a rare chance to claim serenity by the lake.
Rosebank has quietly outperformed many Pickering neighbourhoods in recent years, emerging as one of the area’s most desirable enclaves. Its balance of waterfront calm, generous lots, and quick access to Toronto makes it a haven for families and a smart play for long-term appreciation.
