A couple of generations ago, estate communities carried a reputation for being available only to retired, or semi-retired, home owners. The design of these communities was relatively plain, offering beautiful wide-open space but not much else. Today, however, so much more goes into the planning of an estate community - and their innovation and uniqueness can't be beat.

So what makes today’s private estate communities in Calgary so different? Let’s explore…

Crestmont

Not only do you reap the benefits of beautiful, untouched terrain in the community of Crestmont, but also additional amenities have been worked into the plan. Located in west Calgary, just south of Highway 1, Crestmont offers a summer water play area with fountains, winter skating, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Ideal for younger families, this community is hardly your grandfather’s acreage.

Crestmont also offers a 4,000 square foot private Resident’s Hall that members can enjoy. Membership to the Crestmont Community Association also means you'll have access to everything from karate and senior's programs to movie nights and soccer. Beautiful walking trails and stunning views of the foothills are part of the lifestyle in this vibrant community, in addition to a stormwater pond creating a peaceful waterfront nearby.

With all of this to offer in one community, there is no compromising on your custom home and lot size. Enjoy a serene setting in your own yard with limited neighbours, yet all the amenities you could need nearby.

Dressage in Silverado

Dressage is a community left as nature intended, perhaps even improved. Endless trees and walking paths within the community complement the untouched Radio Tower Creek nature reservation area, exemplifying the serene environment of the area.

Although there are over 150 acres of open space within Dressage, it doesn't mean you're disconnected from amenities. A new shopping area has been built right in the community for ultimate convenience.

If this isn’t enough, minutes away you'll find Fish Creek Provincial Park, Spruce Meadows, Kananaskis Country and so much more.

Artesia at Heritage Pointe

Imagine your own acreage-style living near the Bow River Valley in south Calgary. Although Artesia’s proximity to the city is highly accessible, you'll feel as though you're secluded in your own private paradise. With plenty of spacious, green lots available, this community has your lifestyle in mind.

Natural, untouched land has been put into the plan for this community, leaving alone what nature created for you to enjoy. In addition to walking paths and plenty of quiet water features, Artesia also offers a community area with basketball courts, soccer fields, tennis, and play areas for the kids. There are also several golf courses only minutes away for the ultimate balance of work and play.

Artesia offers more than just a lot for your custom home; it offers the comfortable lifestyle you deserve.

In addition to amenities, today’s estate communities also consider environmental sustainability. Land developers and builders are proactive in finding new ways to recycle water and minimize their carbon footprint through better land planning and features such as bioswales.

A variety of new communities are available to you, offering a more modern, yet still serene lifestyle. Visit any of our show homes today to find out how these communities and others can fit your lifestyle and offer the relaxation of an estate community.
