Profile
About Rocky Ridge
Rocky Ridge sits on high ground in the far north-west of Calgary, north of Country Hills Boulevard and west of Sarcee Trail. Its elevation gives many homes genuine mountain views, which is the reason most buyers look here.
The community has a private residents club and sits beside the Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge, one of the larger recreation facilities in the city, with pools, gyms, a library and an ice surface. Tuscany station on the Red Line is a short drive away.
Rocky Ridge is complete, and remaining activity is resale plus limited multi-family. It is relevant to a new build buyer chiefly as the established comparison for Haskayne and Rockland Park, the two newer communities immediately west of it.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Stoney Trail and the Trans-Canada Highway, or the Red Line from Tuscany station. Off-peak roughly 26 minutes, peak roughly 35 minutes.
Highlights
- Elevated setting with mountain views from many homes.
- Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge, a major recreation and library facility.
- Private residents club with outdoor amenity space.
- Short drive to Tuscany station on the Red Line CTrain.
- Quick access to Stoney Trail and the Trans-Canada Highway.
Considerations
- Effectively no new single-family construction; the market is resale and multi-family.
- Residents association fee is registered on title.
- Far north-west location with long drives to the rest of the city.
- Older homes need major component replacement at this age.

Questions about Rocky Ridge
Elevation is what produces views, so the higher ground in Rocky Ridge, Tuscany and the newer communities on the Symons Valley ridge and the Bow escarpment offers the best sight lines. Views depend on the individual lot and on what is approved to be built in front of it, so check the approved plans before paying a premium.
