Living in Redstone, Calgary: Community Guide for Home Buyers

by George Brown

Quick answer: Redstone is a newer Qualico community on Calgary's northeast edge. Most homes were built in the last ten years, with detached homes, duplexes, townhomes and condos, plus a central Participark and pathways.

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

What it's like to live in Redstone

Redstone sits north of 128 Avenue NE, between Métis Trail and 60 Street NE, with Stoney Trail along the north side. Skyview Ranch is just south. Qualico Communities launched Redstone in 2010, and most homes went up between 2011 and 2021.

The Participark in the middle of the community has permanent outdoor fitness equipment and links to about 3.5 km of pathways. Garden-lot homes face directly onto park space. For bigger shopping trips, CrossIron Mills and Costco are a short drive north.

Types of homes

About half the homes are detached, many on laned or zero lot line designs. The rest are a mix of low-rise condos, townhomes and semi-detached homes. Some homes were built with secondary suite options.

Getting around

Bus Routes 128 and 145 connect Redstone to Saddletowne CTrain station on the Blue Line. Drivers have quick access to Stoney Trail, Métis Trail and Deerfoot Trail.

Who Redstone suits

Redstone suits young families, multi-generational households and first-time buyers who want a newer home in the northeast. Townhomes and condos give lower-cost options. There's no school in the community yet, though the public and Catholic boards have both announced elementary schools for Redstone.

Buying tips for Redstone

Plan for schools. Until the new schools open, children are designated to schools outside Redstone. Check with the board for your address.
Compare new and resale. A resale home may include landscaping, fencing and a finished basement. Weigh that against any new builds still available.
Check the lot. Homes backing onto Stoney Trail can hear traffic. Garden lots face parks. Walk the street before you write an offer.
