Creekstone’s active lifestyle appeal

A life of ease and comfort is what Creekstone promises, and that promise is quickly coming to life, as the young southwest community brings in more amenities and new home styles bring a bevy of lifestyle choices.

Showhomes only opened last year, but Creekstone has enjoyed a surge in demand that saw Phase 1 already at 80 percent sold. “We have started selling Phase 2 and will be starting development for Phase 3 in the spring,” says Michelle Wilken, development coordinator at Apex Developments.

Just off the west side of Macleod Trail in the rapidly growing southern limits of Calgary, Creekstone offers the fertile ground where families can set down their roots.

“One of the many benefits of living in Creekstone is the proximity to popular shopping centres, recreation facilities, and other conveniences that make daily life easier and enjoyable,” Wilken says. “From park and playground spaces that are perfect for kids, to future amenities like schools, commercial areas, and everyday essentials close by, everything you need is right outside your front door. Creekstone has it all.”

Jointly developed by Apex and Quadra Developments, Creekstone has quickly captured heart and minds of buyers with their elegantly stylish, and affordable front-drive garage and duplex homes from Brookfield Residential and Excel Homes.

Jenna Rilling, Marketing Manager for Brookfield Residential, says building in Creekstone has been an “incredible” success for them, and their front-drive garage homes continue to do well.

“The community has come together to offer residents incredible amenities that focus on an active lifestyle. Our customers are drawn to the abundant pathways, playground and golf courses that are nearby and the close proximity to Fish Creek Park and nearby commercial,” Rilling tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide. She says they have done so well here that they have currently sold out of their duplex home models, but more should be available soon.

Excel Homes’ Creekstone Area Managers, Faryn Salloway and Kent Shupe, agree, as they continue to enjoy steady traffic for their front-drive and duplex homes.

“While it is still considered a new community, it doesn’t feel like it because there are so many amenities nearby,” Salloway says. “It is peaceful and quiet, with spectacular views of the ridge and mountains.”

Shupe says Creekstone has been a liveable community right from the get-go. “With the park space already available for families to enjoy. There is easy access to commercial retail, but far enough away that homeowners don’t have to deal with the noise and traffic,” he adds.

Creekstone offers a master-planned vision for the greater Pine Creek community. “We have made it easier than ever to plant your family roots, grow, and thrive in the city’s southwest. From park and playground spaces to future amenities like schools, commercial areas, and everyday essentials close by – you’re perfectly situated in Creekstone,” Apex’s Wilken says.

Intertwined by local and regional pathways, with an environmental reserve nearby, Creekstone is as picturesque as it can get with the southern Alberta foothills and the Rockies as its backdrop.

Creekstone is on 210 Avenue in the SW, and not only does it have great access to major thoroughfares including Macleod Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail, it is close to key commercial areas like the thriving, new Township shopping centre and Walden Gate, both less than 10 minutes away.

Rilling says Brookfield residential’s most popular offering here is the Purcell 24. At 2,229 sq. ft., she says it is ideal for family with a busy lifestyle. “It features a flex room on the main floor, perfect for a home office, that is directly across from the kitchen. The upper floor bonus room provides privacy from primary bedroom to secondary bedrooms and offers an awesome family night spot.
Their Rundle 24 showhome has been very popular with families too. Its 1,884 sq. ft. provides spacious accommodations with large windows that makes the home feel even bigger. “The kitchen boasts a sizable pantry and an impressive island eating bar, making it an ideal spot for snacking and catching up between work, school, and soccer practice,” Rilling says.

Excel’s Salloway says their Collingwood front-drive model is their most popular and is their current showhome in Creekstone. “It’s a modern 3-bedroom home built with versatility in mind. It offers optimal flexibility and versatility with so many different options and variations to the home,” she adds.

Shupe says majority of their clients in Creekstone are first time home buyers who are new to Canada or families upgrading from a smaller home to a larger front drive home. “They are young, growing families with an influx moving to Calgary from other provinces because they can live a better quality of life. They specifically pick Creekstone because of the easy access to major roadways, the established surrounding amenities, and the connection to nature,” he says.

Rilling says Brookfield Residential is attracting a lot of younger buyers too. “Our buyers have been younger couples (age 30-39), with the flexibility to work from home and with children living at home. Many of the buyers in the community appreciate the incredible abundance of pathways and access to nature, in the southwest of Calgary. Buyers are also attracted to the modern park centered in the middle of the community with amenities not commonly found, for their children.”

But regardless of which home you choose in Creekstone, the community is quickly coming into its own, Wilken says.

“Our single-family focused enclave is perfect for families, where the playground is always filled with neighbourhood kids playing together, and the pathways are perfect for daily walks with friends and pets. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or simply enjoy the tranquility of a peaceful neighbourhood, Creekstone is the perfect place for you.”
