Living in Alpine Park, Calgary: Community Guide for Home Buyers

Quick answer: Alpine Park is a new community in southwest Calgary, developed by Dream and launched in 2021. It's planned around walkable streets, front porches, parks and a future village centre, with Stoney Trail right next door.

I'm George Brown, a Calgary REALTOR® with LPT Realty. Here's what buyers should know about Alpine Park.

What it's like to live in Alpine Park

Alpine Park sits west of Stoney Trail, across from Evergreen, near 146 Avenue SW and 37 Street SW. The Tsuut'ina Nation borders it to the north. It's in Ward 13 and is planned for about 10,000 residents when it's complete.

The design puts walking first. Most homes are within an eight-minute walk of the village core, and the parks are spread through the community. There's a large central park with a playground, plus Picnic Grove and The Hearth, which have community gardens, picnic benches and an outdoor fireplace. Many mature trees were kept, and a walking trail leads toward the west end of Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Types of homes

Most homes in Alpine Park are on laned lots, many with front porches and detached garages off the lane. You'll also find front-garage detached homes, street townhomes and drive-under townhomes with garages below.

Some wider estate-style lots face Skyline Pond, and sites for apartments and other multi-family homes are planned in later phases.

Getting around

Stoney Trail has an interchange at Fish Creek Boulevard / 146 Avenue SW, and another at 130 Avenue SW / Buffalo Run Boulevard to the north. The developer estimates about 15 minutes to downtown by car.

Retail is coming in stages. A convenience area is first, and a later service district is planned to bring a grocery store and other services.

Who Alpine Park suits

Alpine Park suits families and move-up buyers who want a new home in a walkable neighbourhood with quick ring road access. Townhomes also make it an option for first-time buyers who want new construction.

Buying tips for Alpine Park

• Compare new and resale. Weigh a resale home's finished extras against a new build's timeline and upgrades.
• Ask what's planned nearby. The village centre and retail areas are being built in stages. Check what will go in near a lot.
• Check for fees and rules. Have your agent review the title for architectural guidelines or any residents association fee before you firm up.
