There is more to love in Creekstone

From a first home to a forever home, Creekstone’s family-oriented design certainly makes it one of the best communities to set roots in. And today, there’s an even wider selection of homes and lots to choose from.

This boutique community in the southwest continues to attract new home buyers with its easy-living appeal, and the new phases that opened this spring have been very well-received, including the lots for front-drive garage (FDG) homes with alley access.

“Sales have been really good,” says Michelle Wilken, development coordinator at Apex Developments. “Phase 1 and Phase 2 are completely out, and even the duplex homes in 3A are gone. We only have one phase left and sales for that will be starting next spring.”

Considering that Creekstone opened only two years ago, this joint development from Apex and Quadra Developments, certainly has outperformed expectations. And with the drop in interest rates and the new federal rule allowing first-time buyers longer mortgages, Creekstone is expected to heat up even more.

Alley access front-drive homes

It certainly is a rarity in the city these days, but Creekstone is one of the few new communities with lots for front-drive garage homes with alley access.

“We just started selling in Phase 3B and sales seem to be strong with a lot of interest in our front drive garage with lane access lots,” Wilken says.

“Calgary residents like their toys and to be to have room for your RVs boats while still having room to park your vehicles in your garage is a huge bonus with these Creekstone lots in 3B.

The current economic conditions are just right to make the leap to homeownership, as the Bank of Canada cut key interest rate to 4.25 on September 4, with economists predicting two more cuts this year.

First-time homeowners are also getting a leg up from the federal government that is now allowing 30-year mortgages for first-time homebuyers. Now might be the best time to buy a home, before the expected rise in demand raises prices.

And with only one phase left to develop in Creekstone, the time may be right to get into the community before it’s all snapped up.

“Now is a great time to buy, you can choose the best lot for your family and pick from one of Creekstone’s award winning builders- Brookfield Residential and Excel Homes!” Wilken says.

A community to grow in

Whether a first-time homebuyer, a move-up buyer, or even a downsizer, Creekstone has the home that can suit all their various wants and needs.
“There have been a real mix of buyers, first time home buyers starting a family, families looking to move up to more space and some new out of province residents looking for that close family friendly community with easy access to all the wonderful amenities the SW has to offer,” Wilken says.
Everyone seems to find something to love about Creekstone, she adds. “Residents love the park; parents can sit on the benches and catch up with neighbours while the kids are playing and there are always lots of kids playing at the playground. Residents love the access to so many southwest amenities while still having that close-knit community enclave feel in Creekstone.”

Perfect location

Creekstone is special because it is an enclave set apart from the hurly burly of urban life, yet located close to all the amenities and major thoroughfares that make living a breeze.

“The southwest is such a desirable quadrant in Calgary and the enclave gives it that close community feel. Residents in the community absolutely love the playground and park space in Creekstone at anytime you can find all the families in Creekstone enjoying these spaces and pathways,” Wilken says.

Just off the west side of Macleod Trail in the rapidly growing southern limits of Calgary, Creekstone offers the fertile ground where families can set down their roots.

“One of the many benefits of living in Creekstone is the proximity to popular shopping centres, recreation facilities, and other conveniences that make daily life easier and enjoyable,” Wilken says. “From park and playground spaces that are perfect for kids, to future amenities like schools, commercial areas, and everyday essentials close by, everything you need is right outside your front door. Creekstone has it all.”

Master-planned vision

Creekstone offers a master-planned vision for the greater Pine Creek community. “We have made it easier than ever to plant your family roots, grow, and thrive in the city’s southwest. From park and playground spaces to nearby amenities like schools, commercial areas, and everyday essentials close by – you’re perfectly situated in Creekstone,” Wilken says.

Intertwined by local and regional pathways, with an environmental reserve close by, Creekstone is as picturesque as it can get with the southern Alberta foothills and the Rockies as its backdrop.

Creekstone is on 210 Avenue in the SW, and not only does it have great access to major thoroughfares including Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail, it is close to key commercial areas like the thriving, new Township shopping centre and Walden Gate, both less than 10 minutes away.
