    Rural Lifestyle Near the City

    Calgary acreages are the perfect type of residence to create lasting memories with family and loved ones. And that doesn’t mean seclusion, either. Many rural homes are found in exclusive estate-style communities with interconnecting pathways which are great for children to connect with new friends. Parents also get to know one another as they look out for each other’s best interests and watch over children.

    Urban professionals with families and empty nesters all look to rural homes as a reprieve from the fast-paced lifestyle of the big city. Waking up to scenic views of the foothills and Rockies to the west while fresh mountain air whisps under the nose is something any homeowner can appreciate!

    Many residents in the Municipal Districts of Foothills and Rockyview choose these areas to be able to frequent the mountains for leisure and recreation to do what they love.
