Calgary is nestled in the foothills of the Rockies certainly has a lot to offer, in terms of culture, history and big city living. That said, attracted to the growing city’s apparently endless opportunities, many families relocating to Canada’s western gem are wondering what areas are best to plant some roots. While not a complete list here are 3 of the top family friendly neighbourhoods.
Arbour Lake
Consistently rated as Calgary’s top neighbourhood period, it’s only natural that Arbour Lake also ranks very high on the family friendly scale. This picturesque area is a delight for families who enjoy the great outdoors, and all the recreational activities which go with lakeside living. The area consists mostly of larger family homes, and is considered to be a relatively well-off region which enjoys median salaries ranging between 70-110K annually. That said, there is a number of rental options available too, which makes the area flexible and welcoming to most families seeking its natural tranquility.
Parkland
As the name entails, this green neighbourhood is completely immersed in nature, and is another hot-spot for outdoorsy families. Parkland is bounded by Fish Creek Provincial Park, a protected conservation area where families can go camping, enjoy its over 100 kilometres of walking trails, and visit the beach at Sikome Lake in the summer months. This is a generally affluent area, where large single family homes on relatively large lots are the norm on its green streets.
Cambrian Heights – Queenspark Village
This more inner-city neighbourhood offers all the best of family living, all within close proximity to downtown Calgary. The housing opportunities here are also far more varied than some outlying suburbs, and include single homes, apartments, condos and larger apartment complexes, suitable for families of any size. Despite its proximity to downtown, this neighbourhood’s family oriented nature comes from its inherent tranquility; there are only peaceful, tree-lined streets here, enhanced by nearby namesake Queens Park, and Queens Cemetery’s ample green spaces.
