Why Live in North Calgary?

It is great to live in north Calgary because of wonderful communities like the new Carrington South and the established Coventry Hills

Carrington South in the North West

Location

Carrington is conveniently located at Centre Street and Stoney Trail NW. Direct access to Stoney Trail makes a trip downtown or a weekend escape to the mountains quick and easy. Sloping lands bring sunshine and beautiful views.

The new bridge over Stoney Trail connecting the community to 14th Street N.W. is set to open in 2021 and will add tremendously to the accessibility of the community.

Calgary Transit On Demand

The community of Carrington is welcoming a transportation service pilot project from the City of Calgary! This on demand service is meant to serve communities that currently don’t have traditional bus service. This shared-ride project will connect residents to the North Pointe transit hub making your journey from A-to-B that much easier.

Recreation

Explore parks and play spaces designed for all ages. Stroll or jog on local pathways, the Rotary Mattamy Greenway, or link up to regional pathways throughout the community that connect to the longest urban pathway and park system in North America. Walk, bike, take your inline skates for a spin and more.

Living here means you can relax and listen to nature’s soundtrack in our environmental preserve. Take in a crimson sunset from perfectly positioned benches that maximize views and vistas or enjoy a winter snowshoe around two peaceful community ponds. There’s so much to love here, and endless ways to make the most of each day in every season.

Throughout greater Carrington, you’ll find a whole host of community attractions for staying active. Shoot hoops on a basketball court. Test your skills in the skate park. Marvel at public artwork. Enjoy family playtime in the Greenway Park playground.

Whatever you choose to do each day, a world of fun and adventure is waiting. It’s all here for you, and all included
