Rougemount is in southwest Pickering, with the Rouge River forming its western border. The 401 is the southern border, Petticoat Creek at the east, and the CN rail line at the north. Rougemount is an older neighbourhood in Pickering, with development taking place between 1900 and 1940. Subdivisions were developed in the 1970s and apartments and townhouses were added in the 1990, so homes vary in age and style, but housing is mostly 2-storey single-detached homes , on good-sized lots. The lands along the waterways offer natural forest areas. Shopping and services are located mainly along Highway 2, in the south.
