What it's like to live in Copperfield

Copperfield was launched in 2002 by Hopewell Residential and built out over many years. It sits east of 52 Street SE, with Stoney Trail along its south side and New Brighton to the north.

Day to day, it's a quiet, family-focused place. There are ponds, walking paths and playgrounds, and the community hall at 6 Copperstone Way SE has an outdoor rink. Shopping along 130 Avenue SE and 52 Street SE is a short drive away.

Types of homes

About two-thirds of homes in Copperfield are detached, based on the 2021 Census. The rest are mostly townhomes and low-rise apartment-style condos, with a few semi-detached homes. Most homes were built between 2001 and 2015, so they're relatively new.

Getting around

Stoney Trail and 52 Street SE are the main roads in and out. Route 153 connects Copperfield Terminal to Somerset-Bridlewood CTrain station on the Red Line, and Route 151 is an express bus to downtown. Most residents drive for daily errands.

Who Copperfield suits

Copperfield suits families who want a detached home and yard near a school and parks. Townhomes and condos make it an option for first-time buyers, and the newer housing stock appeals to people who don't want a big renovation project.

Buying tips for Copperfield

Compare the phases. Homes were built over more than 15 years. Compare age, finishes and updates between older and newer phases.
Check the school designation. Copperfield School is in the community, but CBE designations can change. Confirm the designated schools for the address you're looking at.
Read the documents. For a townhome or condo, review the reserve fund study, board minutes and fee history. For any home, have your agent check the land title for caveats or encumbrances.
