Calgary is more than just a city, it’s a collection of communities shaped by vision and care. When looking for a place to put down roots, a master-planned community offers more than homes, it offers a sense of direction. Whether you're a first-time buyer, planning to grow your family, or looking to right-size your lifestyle, Calgary has neighbourhoods that were built with your life in mind.

What Makes a Community “Master-Planned”?

Master-planned communities are thoughtfully designed neighbourhoods that include not just homes, but also parks, schools, shopping, and connections, right from the beginning. In Calgary, these communities are often designed to feel more like small towns within the city: places where neighbours wave, paths lead somewhere, and nothing feels rushed.

Top 10 Master-Planned Communities in Calgary

1. Seton – South Calgary’s “downtown south.” Close to South Health Campus, YMCA, and with a growing selection of shops, schools, and condos. A great choice for professionals and families alike.

2. Mahogany – Known for the largest freshwater lake in Calgary. This SE neighbourhood blends outdoor living with modern homes and strong community engagement.

3. Livingston – In the north, Livingston is one of Calgary’s most forward-thinking communities, designed for connection across generations with parks, amenities, and even an HOA hub.

4. Westman Village (in Mahogany) – A turn-key lifestyle community with restaurants, shops, and walkability within arm’s reach. Particularly supportive for those looking for a low-maintenance option with amenities built-in.

5. Belmont – A newer SW community that's seeing exciting growth. Perfect for homebuyers seeking affordability with a long-term vision for value.

6. Legacy – Surrounded by nature and walking trails, Legacy fosters slow living and modern design. Shops and schools are in place, making this a calm and convenient choice.

7. Cornerstone – One of NE Calgary’s most dynamic new areas, with plans that include schools, LRT access, and a vibrant cultural mix.

8. Walden – Tucked against natural ravines and green spaces, with sleek home styles and great access to amenities.

9. University District – Not just for students. This NW gem blends urban vibes with academic-inspired architecture, eateries, and walkability right next to the University of Calgary.

10. Cranston – A well-rounded SE community with lots of character, river valley access, and a family-friendly pace.

Choosing What’s Right for You

There’s no “best” community—only what feels aligned with you. You might want walkability over yard size, or proximity to a hospital might matter more than a lake view. That’s where we come in—to help you find clarity in the midst of choice.

Looking Ahead

Calgary continues to grow and evolve, and these master-planned neighbourhoods show how thoughtful development can make room for everyone—from young couples to retirees, from entrepreneurial dreams to growing families.
