Living in Pine Creek, Calgary: Community Guide for Home Buyers

Quick answer: Pine Creek is a small, newer community on Calgary's south edge, developed by Anthem along 210 Avenue SW. It's built around natural wetlands and ponds, and most homes are newer detached or paired homes.

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

What it's like to live in Pine Creek

Pine Creek sits along 210 Avenue SW, west of Macleod Trail, in Ward 13. At about 120 acres, it's a smaller community, and the Sirocco area is right next to Sirocco Golf Club.

The setting is quiet, with wetlands, storm ponds, parks and playgrounds linked by walking trails. The Sirocco area alone has about 5 km of pathways. A sports field and ball diamond are already in place on a future school site, and Sirocco Square has a doctor's office, daycare, pharmacy and dentist. The City's Belmont Fieldhouse and Library is under construction nearby, near Creekside Boulevard SW and 210 Avenue SW.

Types of homes

Pine Creek is mostly detached homes, either with a front attached garage or a detached garage off the lane. Paired (semi-detached) homes are part of the mix too.

Some lots back onto ponds or green space, and some laned plans are designed to allow a basement suite. The first homes were built in the late 2010s, and the developer says construction is now in its final years.

Getting around

Most residents drive. Sheriff King Street and 210 Avenue SW connect to the wider city, and Stoney Trail has interchanges at Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street / 6 Street SW.

Calgary Transit On Demand serves Pine Creek, linking riders to nearby shopping and transit hubs. Larger shopping is a short drive north in Silverado and Shawnessy.

Who Pine Creek suits

Pine Creek suits families and first-time buyers who want a newer home in a smaller community, close to wetlands and trails. It also works for buyers who want quick access to the south end of the ring road.

Buying tips for Pine Creek

• Ask about a homeowners association. The developer plans one for the Sirocco area. Ask whether it applies to the home and what it will cost.
• Compare new and resale. Weigh a resale home's finished extras against what builders offer on the last new homes.
• Check the lot. For homes backing onto ponds or wetlands, check grading, privacy and any rules on those lots.
