Living in Cityscape, Calgary: Community Guide for Home Buyers

Quick answer: Cityscape is a newer northeast Calgary community by Mattamy Homes, built around a 115-acre environmental reserve with a wetland. Most homes are detached houses and townhomes built since 2011.

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

What it's like to live in Cityscape

Cityscape sits between Métis Trail and 60 Street NE, from Airport Trail north to Country Hills Boulevard. Skyview Ranch is to the north and Cornerstone is to the east.

The environmental reserve is the heart of the community, with a walking path around it. The Rotary/Mattamy Greenway runs through Cityscape, and there are playgrounds, tot lots and pavilions, including a music-themed play structure at Music Park. Cityscape Square has shops inside the community.

Types of homes

About two-thirds of homes are detached houses and about a third are townhomes. Nearly all were built in 2011 or later. Mattamy Homes is still building detached, attached and townhome designs, with some lots next to the wetland.

Getting around

Métis Trail, Country Hills Boulevard and Airport Trail border the community, with 60 Street NE on the east side. Mattamy notes Cityscape is close to the airport, Sunridge Mall and CrossIron Mills, so most residents drive for errands and commuting.

Who Cityscape suits

Cityscape suits families and first-time buyers who want a newer detached home or townhome next to green space. It's also handy for people who fly often.

Buying tips for Cityscape

• New build or resale. Mattamy Homes is still building in Cityscape. Compare a resale home's finished extras with a new build's timeline, warranty and upgrades.
• Check school plans. An elementary school site is still in planning. Confirm which schools your address is designated to with the CBE and Calgary Catholic, and how students get there.
• Review the title. Ask your agent to check the land title for any fees, restrictive covenants or architectural rules before you firm up.
