Rocky Ridge Homes for Sale Rocky Ridge Ranch Lake • Shane Homes YMCA • Park-and-Ride at Tuscany Station
Rocky Ridge was established in 1998 on the city's far northwest edge. It runs from Country Hills Boulevard down to Crowchild Trail, and from Rocky Ridge Road west to Twelve Mile Coulee Road. Wikipedia puts the community at about 1,265 metres, and the views west to the mountains from many streets are a big part of why people buy here. The 2021 Census counted 8,195 residents.
What makes Rocky Ridge different is the Rocky Ridge Ranch: a lake, splash park and winter ice for members, paid for by a yearly fee registered on title for homes in the Ranch area. Add the Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge, opened in 2018, and Tuscany Station with its park-and-ride on the Rocky Ridge side of Crowchild. On October 9, 2026, 45 Rocky Ridge homes were listed for sale.

Who Is Buying in Rocky Ridge?
A wider mix than in many northwest communities. Half of Rocky Ridge's couple families in 2021 were married with children, but 30% were married couples without children at home, and 13% of residents were 65 or older. With 22% of homes in low-rise buildings, condos draw first-time buyers and downsizers alike. 82% of households owned, the average household had 2.7 people, and 36% of residents were immigrants.
In summer, Ranch members rent a boat on the lake or take the kids to the splash park; in winter, there's skating on the Ranch ice surface. The YMCA fills in the rest of the year with swimming, hockey and the library, and weekday mornings start with a drive or a walk to the Tuscany Station park-and-ride.
Why Rocky Ridge?
Rocky Ridge pairs a private lake facility with a big public recreation centre, a CTrain park-and-ride on its edge and mountain views from many streets, with condos as well as detached homes. The trade-offs: homes in the Ranch area pay $262.50 a year whether or not they use the facility, condo owners pay a complex fee on top, a third of commuters needed 30 to 44 minutes for the trip in 2021, and most everyday shopping means a drive to Rockyvalley Drive or Royal Oak Centre.
The Complete Guide to Living in Rocky Ridge
Daily Life in Rocky Ridge
For Ranch members, the Rocky Ridge Ranch at 10709 Rocky Ridge Blvd NW is the centre of the community: the lake, the splash park, the courts and events through the year, from Easter to a fall festival. The Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge handles fitness, swimming and the public library, the Calgary Co-op on Rockyvalley Drive covers groceries, and sports and family programs come through the Rocky Ridge Royal Oak Community Association, which Rocky Ridge shares with Royal Oak.
"In Rocky Ridge I always pull the title before we get serious about a house. Whether it carries the Ranch fee, and for a condo what the monthly fee covers, tells you the true cost of living there, and the view from the back deck tells you why people stay."
Viren Vijayashankar, Rocky Ridge Real Estate Specialist | Bowhaven.comHomes & Real Estate in Rocky Ridge
Rocky Ridge was built in two main stages. In the 2021 Census, 28% of homes dated from 1991 to 2000 and 54% from 2001 to 2010, with 11% from 2011 to 2015 and 4% after that. Single-detached houses were 62% of homes, low-rise apartments 22%, row homes 8% and semi-detached 7%, and 82% of households owned.
Detached Homes
The bigger share. Note whether a home is from the 1990s or 2000s phase, how the lot faces, and whether the title carries the Ranch fee.
Condos at The Lakes
The Lakes at Rocky Ridge has about 600 households across five condo corporations. Each sets its own fee, separate from the Ranch fee.
Row & Semi-Detached
About 15% of homes together. If it's part of a condo complex, find out what the monthly fee includes.
Condo fees vary by complex and amenities. Always review the current reserve fund study and financials before purchasing.
The Rocky Ridge Ranch Fee, Explained
The Rocky Ridge Ranch Homeowners Association has managed the community's lake and lands since the subdivision was completed in 2003. Homes in its area carry an encumbrance on title that secures the yearly fee. Not every Rocky Ridge home pays it, so the title search for the home you're buying is the place to confirm.
- Ranch fee$250 plus GST, $262.50 a year
- Due dateJanuary 31
- Late payment2% a month from February 1
- Unpaid after May 31Sent to collections
Cost Insight: The Ranch fee comes with the house, not the owner. Ask the seller to confirm it's paid up to date, and if you're buying a condo, add it to the condo fee when you budget.
Location & Commuting
Tuscany Station opened on August 23, 2014, between the lanes of Crowchild Trail just west of Rocky Ridge Road. Its park-and-ride lots sit on both sides of Crowchild, with the north lot on the Rocky Ridge side, and the pedestrian bridges are part of the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway.
Walk Score® rates Rocky Ridge 25 for walking and 39 for transit (walkscore.com, listed there as Rock Ridge, checked October 2026), so plan on driving for most errands. The Ranch, the YMCA and Tuscany Station's north park-and-ride are all in or beside the community.

- Crowchild TrailSouth edge
- Country Hills BoulevardNorth edge, to Stoney Trail
- Route 801Replaced Route 807, August 31, 2026
Commuter Insight: Even with a station on its edge, 80% of Rocky Ridge's workers drove in the 2021 Census and 6% took transit. Commutes ran 15 to 29 minutes for 40% of workers and 30 to 44 minutes for 33%.
The YMCA & Recreation
The Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge opened on January 15, 2018. The City owns the building, about 284,000 square feet, and the YMCA runs it. Inside are pools, a gym, a hockey arena, a public library, a 250-seat theatre, art studios and a youth centre. It's a public facility, so you don't need to live in the Ranch area to use it.
Schools & Education
Rocky Ridge shares its school designations with Royal Oak. On the public side, children start at Royal Oak School, move to William D. Pratt School for grades 5 to 9, and finish at Robert Thirsk High School on Nose Hill Drive in Arbour Lake; the 2026-27 finder flagged none of the three for lottery or overflow. Catholic students go to St. Maria Goretti in Hawkwood through grade 6, St. Jean Brebeuf for junior high and St. Francis for high school. Since August 31, 2026, the St. Jean Brebeuf school trips run as Route 801, which replaced Route 807. Confirm the designation for the exact home with the CBE school finder and the Calgary Catholic school finder.

| Royal Oak School | K-4 | CBE | Royal Oak |
| William D. Pratt School | 5-9 | CBE | Serves Royal Oak and Rocky Ridge |

School boundaries in Calgary change regularly. Always verify your property's current designated school directly with the Calgary Board of Education school finder or the Calgary Catholic school finder before purchasing.
Buying a Home in Rocky Ridge
On October 9, 2026, 45 Rocky Ridge homes were listed for sale. The listings range from condos at The Lakes to detached homes from both building phases, so the right comparison depends on what you're shopping for.
Market Dynamics: Compare a 1990s home with other 1990s homes, and add the Ranch fee and any condo fee to the monthly cost before comparing with Royal Oak or Tuscany. Lots with an open view west, or close to the Ranch, are judged separately from inside streets.
When Rocky Ridge May Not Be the Right Fit
- If a yearly residents' fee is a deal-breaker: homes in the Ranch area pay $262.50 a year. Royal Oak, across Rocky Ridge Road, has no fee on title.
- If you want to walk to groceries: most homes are a drive from the Co-op or Royal Oak Centre.
- If you want a brand-new house: only 4% of homes were built after 2015. Newer communities to the northeast have more recent stock.

Sales of comparable homes close by tell you more than any community average.
What schools serve Rocky Ridge?
For 2026-27 the CBE finder gave a Rocky Ridge address Royal Oak School for kindergarten to grade 4, William D. Pratt School for grades 5 to 9 and Robert Thirsk High School for grades 10 to 12, none flagged for lottery or overflow. The Calgary Catholic finder gave St. Maria Goretti School (K-6), St. Jean Brebeuf School (7-9) and St. Francis High School. Boundaries change, so verify a property's current designated school with the Calgary Board of Education or Calgary Catholic School District before purchasing.
