Garrison Green Calgary Homes for Sale

Garrison Green is a highly sought-after community found in southwest Calgary, home to large green spaces and a diversity of real estate, including single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums. Established in 1998, the neighbourhood was part two of the three-phase CFB Military Barracks redevelopment which also saw the creation of Garrison Woods and Currie Barracks. Today, Garrison Green real estate is exclusive as it is one of the few recently developed central neighbourhoods in the city, where most homes were built in the late 2000s. Because of its relatively new age and proximity to downtown, many urban professionals seek out a home in the area.

Urban professionals who frequent downtown spend significantly less time stuck in traffic when living in Garrison Green, and more time with family, friends, and doing other activities of choice.

#2 – Master Planned Community

As part two of the three phase Canadian Forces Base (CFB) redevelopment project, developer Canada Lands Company has been able to build upon what they learned through phase one (Garrison Woods) and make Garrison Green even more attractive to live in.

#3 - Upscale Homes

Garrison Green homes for sale in Calgary are sought after for numerous reasons, one being their upscale nature.

The community is also home to more reasonably priced condominiums and townhomes, ranging from the $300,000s to the mid $600,000s and up. This diversity of real estate provides potential buyers from many walks of life with options to move into the area.

Garrison Green History

In 1998, the CFB Calgary was decommissioned by the government in order to combine its forces into fewer locations. Most of its personnel and equipment were sent to the CFB Edmonton, opening up a rare development opportunity for the land in Calgary's inner city region.

Today, Canada Lands Company has done a fantastic job developing the old CFB location into Garrison Woods, Garrison Green and Currie Barracks, three desirable southwest inner city communities. Its military history is why you’ll see several war memorials in the community's three large green spaces in the west, central and east parts.

Garrison Green Amenities

Garrison Green’s inner city location gives its residents quick and easy access to downtown Calgary, 17th Avenue SW, Marda Loop, West Hills, Chinook Mall and Macleod Trail, all reachable within ten minutes or less of driving. Also nearby are several smaller strip malls, making Garrison Green real estate attractive to buyers looking for a convenient lifestyle.

Apart from having an abundance of parks and green spaces, Garrison Green is connected to the major pathway system of Calgary, giving residents the opportunity to walk southward to the Glenmore Reservoir and all the natural areas beyond as well as northward towards downtown.

Let’s not forget about Mount Royal University, located across the street, for all those post-secondary students who would love to live and study so close to home. And with the addition of thousands upon thousands of square feet of new office space in the adjacent areas, there’s always the possibility someone might end up working closer to home as well!

Garrison Green Parks

The most intrinsic characteristic of Garrison Green are the three park spaces that serve as focal points for residents. Staying true to the "military" theme inherent to the neighbourhood, two are equipped with war memorials and children’s playgrounds while the other is an open field with mature trees, park benches and a paved pathway that serves to connect the community.

The east and west park spaces have gates along the perimeter which makes the playgrounds and fields ideal for young children to play on. In the winter, a few select residents who live across from the eastern park voluntarily set up a homemade ice-skating rink for everyone to enjoy. Both parks are lined with beautiful Victorian / French Country style row houses and laned homes that give its streets a warming, tight-knit feel the community is known for.

The middle park is lined with two rows of semi-estate homes with park views. On the opposite sites of the street are more semi-estate properties, some of which are equipped with carriage houses. These are great for investors and families alike.

Children and pets are a common sight along the park paths and at the playgrounds. For those young ones, they are the perfect place to make new friends and grow up making last memories with one another.

Garrison Green Layout

With the row houses lining the east and west parks and semi-estate properties along the central park’s perimeter, the community’s layout truly feels suburban in nature – something you would not expect for its location in the city centre.

On the northwest side of the neighbourhood, ATCO has built a new mid-rise office building home to a Blue Flame kitchen (open to the public). For ATCO staff working at the building, buying a home for sale in Garrison Green would be more than ideal.

On the west side of the community is Richard Road that heads southwest to Glenmore Trail West and north towards Mount Royal University. Drive a bit further north and it takes you right to the Marda Loop Businesses Improvement Area on 33rd Avenue SW.

Across the street from the west entrance is a strip mall with a few dozen businesses like Tim Hortons, Pita Pit and Spot On Kitchen & Bar. These businesses provide added convenience for families who need to grab something quick on the way home.

There's also a nursing home and a retirement home near the west entrance which presents an opportunity for people to ensure their elderly parents are well taken care of.

Designated Schools

Families looking to live in Garrison Green will have convenient access to nearby schools including Mount Royal University, Bishop Pinkham, Central Memorial, and Jennie Elliott. Learn more about Garrison Woods' designated schools below:

A Community for the Long-Term

From the beginning, Garrison Green has been known as a family-oriented neighbourhood where residents tend to stay for the long term. While the central green spaces provide a place for children to make new friendships and play with one another, its location gives parents a near unbeatable chance to live in a suburban-like setting near all that you’ll find in the inner city and downtown areas.

All this culminates into one amazing living experience for families looking to grow and make lasting memories with one another. For kids, it’s the perfect place to make a new best friend (or two) and make positive memories with both family and bffs that will last well into adulthood.
