Carrington South blends beauty and balance

For Apex Developments, it is striking a balanced lifestyle that is the most important in the design for their family-friendly communities.

“Now more than ever people are looking for a balanced lifestyle where they can be both super comfortable in their homes and at the same time have access to beautiful outdoor spaces where they can re-charge,” says Michelle Wilken, development coordinator at Apex.

The growing community of Carrington South in the northwest is a prime example of this work-life balance lifestyle that Apex strives for.
Jointly developed by Apex and H3 Developments, Carrington South is now selling Phase 4 and builders have started construction. “We have three phases developed so far and we have started construction for the fourth this month,” Wilken says.

Life is about to get even easier for residents here with a new commercial centre that adds to the many already established around the community. “Construction for the Shops of Carrington is well underway, amenities will include groceries, pharmacy, dental and childcare center (just to name a few) everything you need will be right in the greater Carrington community,” Wilken says.

Carrington South’s newest park includes a playground, toboggan hill for winter, and three basketball courts, which adds to the enjoyment residents can get within the community. “It’s great to have places where kids can safely play and burn off energy and where neighbours can interact and build stronger bonds.”

Carrington South, which is nestled just north of Stoney Trail, west of 1st St. NW and south of 144th Ave NW, is presenting a fresh, more vibrant and inclusive take on urban life, especially when it comes to family living. “This ideal northwest location offers people and families the connections to the places and spaces they value most. It’s conveniently located close to major routes, recreation and shopping areas, and even home to Calgary’s Transit on Demand system,” Wilken says.

Carrington South’s irresistible appeal is showcased in the parade of front-drive garage (FDG), show homes from Excel Homes, Trico Homes, and Truman Homes.
“We have seen a wide variety of buyers from young families to retirees who enjoy all the pathways and friendly neighbors,” Wilken adds.

Carrington South’s showhomes expressly display the lifestyle opportunities available here with their inimitable style of family-friendly perfection.

Excel Homes’ Collingwood is great example of the inspiring, stylishly functional design of FDG homes available here. The 2,227 square-foot Collingwood is a three-bedroom model built for a family with growing needs. A large foyer will wow friends and family. With the sizeable pass-through wall into the kitchen, a spice kitchen was built in this home specifically designed to accommodate a family that loves to entertain. The centre bonus room separates the additional three bedrooms and side by side laundry room allowing the owner’s maximum privacy. Downstairs, a full basement suite option offers a get-away or private oasis for guests, family members or rental tenants. The Collingwood is sure to fit your lifestyle.

Trico Homes has two FDG showhomes that also display the stately allure of living in Carrington South. One is the Harrington, a finalist in the 2021 BILD Calgary New Home Awards. It’s easy to see why this 2,168-square-foot, four-bedroom model is popular with its cleverly designed rooms and superb use of space. The expansive kitchen overlooks the spacious great room and dining nook for easy flow, with a spice kitchen option that home cooks will appreciate. On the upper floor the central bonus room provides added privacy between the master suite
and your choice of two or three additional bedrooms.

The 1,967-square-foot The Oxford is part of Trico’s Hallmark Homes Collection – offering the best in design, function, and value – it is a fan favorite with many of the family-friendly features.

Enter to a bright, open concept great room with a large L-shaped kitchen and central island with eating bar, coupled with plenty of cabinets for storage. Upstairs is equally spacious with a master retreat, two additional bedrooms, a dedicated laundry space and a cozy bonus room that’s perfect for family movie nights.

Truman Homes is proud of its Mystic plan that includes 1,132 square-foot main floor, 1,307 square-foot upper floor with various bedroom options, and a bonus room. The main floor has layout options including adding a spice kitchen, pantry, mudroom, and a double-height great room. The renowned builder and developer offers a range of stunning single-family homes in Carrington South available with three and even five bedrooms. Their designs are fully customizable with main floor layout options that include spice kitchen, pantry, mudroom and flex den.

This exceptional collection of homes is all contained in a community designed to keep as much of nature within easy reach with its winding local and regional pathways, an environmental reserve, two large central ponds, a central pergola, seating areas and their mixed level playgrounds.

From the community’s pathway, park, and playground network to the houses themselves, families feel right at home here. “With so much to explore right out of your door and everything you need close by, Carrington South really does offer families everything they deserve out of a new community,” Wilken says. It’s a rare opportunity to own in the NW at such an affordable price.
