by George Brown

Quick answer: Legacy is a newer community on Calgary's south edge, in the Pine Creek Valley, developed by WestCreek Developments. It has everything from condos to estate homes, with paved pathways, ponds and a large environmental reserve.

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

What it's like to live in Legacy

Legacy is in southeast Calgary, reached from Macleod Trail South by heading east on 210 Avenue SE. The community is built around nature: paved pathways, ponds, community gardens and an environmental reserve along its edge.

Legacy Village and Township have shops and services, including a Sobeys grocery store. The Legacy Residents Association (LRA) maintains extras like entrance features, pond fountains and the community garden, funded by an annual homeowner fee.

Types of homes

Legacy has detached homes, apartment-style condos, semi-detached homes and townhomes. Estate homes on the ridge back onto the environmental reserve. New construction from several builders is still going on.

Getting around

Macleod Trail is the main route in and out. Bus Route 167 links Legacy to Somerset-Bridlewood CTrain station on the Red Line.

Who Legacy suits

Legacy suits families and move-up buyers who want a newer home near nature and walking paths. Condos and townhomes also make it an option for first-time buyers in south Calgary.

Buying tips for Legacy

Budget for the residents association. Ask for the current annual LRA fee when you buy.
New build or resale. Compare a resale home's price and finished extras against a new build's timeline and upgrades.
Ask about the lot. Homes backing onto the environmental reserve or green space have great views. Check grading, privacy and any rules that apply to those lots.
