ROSSTOWN ROAD

This neighbourhood was settled mostly in the 1970s and ’80s. While many houses are the standard box form, there are also some funkier character homes around Rosstown Rd.

The Rosstown Road neighbourhood is a common favourite for families due to its convenient location. This sub-area is only a ten-minute drive to downtown, and even less to the biggest malls.

This area is also home to a Co-Op gas bar, SPCA, and a St John’s Ambulance training centre. There are several medical facilities and urgent care clinics in and around this area.

Rosstown Road is southwest of Country Club mall, south of Labieux Rd.
