At the junction of Elbow River and Bow River in Alberta stands one of the most beautiful cities in Canada: Calgary. It was world famous for successfully hosting the Winter Olympics in 1988, and it’s also an important Canadian business hub. Countless people are also discovering just how family friendly Calgary is. This is why local building experts like Alair Homes are creating bespoke homes in a range of neighborhoods suitable for children and adults alike.

Queenspark Village

If you don’t associate inner city areas with family living, you certainly haven’t visited Queenspark Village. It’s an idyllic location represented by tree-lined boulevards. Calgary is a green city, and this is one of the greenest areas of them all, a factor that is largely contributed to the majesty of the Queen’s Park itself. It’s a safe environment for kids to play and learn, making this particular suburb increasingly popular. It’s an ideal choice for people who work in the city. And it also boasts a wide choice of elementary and secondary schools that come with excellent credentials.

Parkland

Parkland is an area that typifies all that’s best about Canada; peaceful, breathtakingly beautiful, and incredibly friendly. It’s a large area within easy reach of the city center. There is plenty of greenery, but you’ll also find beaches where you can take your children to fly kites or paddle in the inviting blue sea. Parkland has a strong community spirit, and it can also be one of the expensive areas to buy property in. However, there are still great deals up for grabs, especially if you buy existing homes and use contractors to renovate it to your particular specifications.

Arbour Lake

If your family loves nothing better than relaxing on the water side or piloting a boat, Arbour Lake is the family friendly Calgary location for you. It’s superbly picturesque, whether you opt for a property on the lakeside or a little further away from the shore. New buildings are springing up, and Alair Homes are creating affordable housing within easy reach of necessary facilities. With hiking, cycling, fishing, and boating all on offer, it’s a paradise for children and parents who love to enjoy the active life. It’s also an incredibly safe neighborhood. The local community organizes family-friendly events all year round.

Whichever location you settle on, Calgary will always be an excellent choice.
