New communities to watch out for in Calgary and area

In 2024, Calgary became the most populated city in the province, with 1.6 million residents. As our population increases and suburban areas continue to be the location of choice for new housing, new communities have emerged so Calgary can meet the demands of a growing population in the coming decades.

These are some of the new communities in Calgary and surrounding areas: 

Nostalgia Townlet

Coming to the southeast quadrant of the city, this neighbourhood will blend the past and the present with neo-traditional architecture and multi-family and single-family properties.

Developed by Jayman BUILT, this sustainability-focused community will live between the Bow River to the south and the communities of Seton/Rangeview to the north.

The main street will feature a homeowner’s association, amenities and boutique retailers, with a focus on wellness and authentic social connections.

Alpine Park

This new southwest community provides access to all parts of the city and a shorter commute thanks to a newly opened section of the Stoney Trail ring road.

Alpine Park offers a dynamic mix of housing choices such as condos and townhouses and features several walking pathways, lake access and a spacious retail space.

With a focus on sustainability, all homes built within Alpine Park are required to be solar-ready with 200-amp servicing that helps distribute electricity more efficiently and can handle standard-size residential solar power systems with battery storage, solar orientation for detached garages, and solar conduit rough-ins that support the installation of future solar power systems.

Ambleton

Conveniently located in the northwest quadrant of the city, Ambleton provides easy access to Stoney Trail, 14 Street NW, and 144 Avenue NW, and downtown, as well as Highways 1 and 2 for when you need to get out of town.

The community offers laned and front garage homes in craftsman, prairie, farmhouse and mid-century modern styles.

Within a five-minute drive, residents can access amenities such as schools, daycares, medical services, five parks, 7.3 km of planned regional and multi-use pathways, and retail.

Homestead

Featuring front-garage homes, duplex homes and townhomes in the northeast, Homestead offers easy access to mountain views, fields and the city’s major thoroughfares, including direct access to Stoney Trail and 80th Avenue NE.

No car? No problem. The community has access to major roadways and Calgary Transit bus services.

A family-oriented community, Homestead will also be home to two schools, four one-acre playgrounds and several playing fields with soccer fields, cricket pitches and basketball and pickleball courts.

Set to open this spring, the Homestead Landing Commercial Plaza, a four-acre, seven-building site, will serve the community of Homestead , as well as surrounding areas and future developments to come.
