Mixed-use neighbourhoods in Calgary like Aspen Spring, Midfield Heights, Greenwich, and the University District, are emerging as a popular type of community to live in for many potential buyers. We absolutely love what these new areas have to offer!

Below, we share a handful of reasons why a mixed-use community might be right for you.

#1 – Unbeatable Convenience

Imagine a life where your favourite coffee shop, fitness studio, and grocery store are all a short walk from your front door. In the University District, for example, several condo buildings such as Maple, Dean’s Landing, and the up-and-coming Magna offer just that; literally walk a short block or two south to reach all the amenities you could hope for. This makes life convenient, to say the least, allowing you to spend less time driving and more time on the things that matter.

#2 – Incredible Amenities

Mixed-use neighbourhoods in Calgary offer convenient access to day-to-day amenities such as restaurants, shops, and services. But they also often have unique features that make them that much more appealing. TakeGreenwich, for example, home to the Calgary Farmers Market West. Located centrally, the building is just a short walk from any part of the community and offers lively activities, organic shopping, and fun events five days of the week. What’s not to love about that?

#3 – Vibrant Neighbourhood

With more densely populated mixed-use communities come all the streetside amenities, interconnecting pathways, children’s playgrounds, and often unique amenities like a farmers market, if you’re in Greenwich, that is. This all culminates in creating some of the most vibrant places to live, giving mixed-use communities an energy that many urbanites can appreciate. The West District, for example, is home to a central 8.4-acre park with a stunning water feature that turns into a skating rink in the winter – surely to be a hotbed of activity when complete! This is an excellent example of how master planned mixed-use neighbourhoods offer a vibrancy that many other communities just don’t have.

#4 – Sustainable Living

Many potential homebuyers, especially younger generations, are now factoring in sustainability when making decisions on where to live. Mixed-use communities offer a reduced reliance on car transport, and in many cases, have exceptional access to public transportation. They also feature well-planned pathway systems that connect to parks, playgrounds, and other communities, making it easy to jump on the bicycle and get from point A to B.

Happy House Hunting!

If you’re searching for a Calgary home that offers convenience, vibrancy, and a sustainable lifestyle with a promising future, these mixed-use neighbourhoods might be a great fit. Keep in mind that these areas are rapidly growing with new developments taking shape rapidly, so make sure to stay updated if you’re keen on finding a property that fits your needs best

Happy house hunting, wishing you all the best in your next real estate transaction!
