Rockcliffe Park is an area in the northeast area of Ottawa, on the southern banks of the Ottawa River. The village of fewer than 2,000 people is characterized by its park-like setting, with varied topography—narrow curving roads, many trees, generous lots and gardens, and houses set unobtrusively within a visually continuous, rich green landscape. It is relatively inaccessible to through traffic. The neighbourhood is one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Ottawa and is home to many ambassadors and their families.

Rockcliffe Housing

Nearly 100& of homes in this area are detached, with house prices ranging from $650,000 to over $3 million. The benchmark price for a single-family home in Rockcliffe Park was $1,516,300 in August 2017, compared to $398,400 for the city of Ottawa as a whole.

The entire village is considered a Heritage Conservation District, causing some property owners to raise concerns that market values will be negatively affected since a heritage permit is now required prior to undertaking the alteration or demolition of a property.

The community is home to one public elementary school, Rockcliffe Park Public School (RPPS), and two private schools, Elmwood School and Ashbury College.
