Into the wild: Legacy incorporates beauty of nature into daily life

Situated on the edge of the city, surrounded by mountain vistas and 300 acres of environmental reserve lands in Pine Creek Valley, the southeast community of Legacy blends pristine natural beauty and architectural designs.

"Our vision for Legacy is about being so much more than that place where you just live and you drive into your driveway and shut your garage door behind you," said Kalida Goldade, sales and marketing manager for WestCreek Developments, the developer behind Legacy.

"Our goal is for it to be a place where people connect, where they speak to their neighbours and come together as a community."

Saved by the bell

New schools in the works across Calgary

For many homebuyers, especially young families, nearby schools are a major factor when it comes to choosing a house and neighbourhood. While Calgary is full of older, established schools, there are also a number of new schools that have recently opened or are slated to open in the near future – many of them in Calgary's newest communities. Here are the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District's new school projects.
The Southwest Calgary Ring Road project includes new road construction and upgrades at a number of important intersections.

Coming full circle

Brian and Susan Vos "upsized" after their downsized lifestyle no longer met their needs

Empty nesters Brian and Susan Vos are at the forefront of a growing downsizing trend. It has taken them full circle from a single-family home to a condominium and then back to a single-family home.

Six years ago they took the traditional downsizing plunge, moving from a large, single-family home where they had raised their three children into an executive bungalow-style condominium.

Making it home

New homebuyers modify Baywest blueprint with the stroke of a pen


When CREB®Now caught up with Maria Rocha Gil and Javier Gonzalez, they were in the process of doing a final walk-through on their new home. They chose a 2,600 square foot, two-storey home by Baywest Homes in Silverado's Dressage, a southwest community adjacent to Spruce Meadows.


The home is situated beside a landscaped park with flower gardens across from Silverado's new elementary school. The couple, who are in their mid-30s, are expecting their first child in July and are excited to move in and get organized before their bundle of joy arrives.

Blank canvas

Developers creating public art 'for the people that belongs to the people'

It's Sunday morning and soft skiffs of white snow blanket the still green grass, while golden and red leaves cling tightly to drooping branches laden with the heaviness of an early fall storm.

As the sun streams through a parting overcast sky, melting the show of winter that has arrived all too soon, the landscape becomes an artistic vista – one of twinkling light and impressionistic colour as St. Patrick's Island awakens to the day.
