"We had heard many good things about this community, a great friend of ours knows someone at the planning department in the city of Calgary and they mentioned that this area was ear marked to become one of the premiere communities in Calgary again and that there were major efforts to see this community become revitalized, just driving through the area you can see that this is accurate, tons of great new homes being built, with plenty of older homes, giving the community a vibrant and eclectic mix throughout. We really just love the location most of all, it's so easy to get out of the city into the mountains, the Bow river being right beside us is exactly what we want, my husband is an avid fisher and he could not be happier about our decision. The team recommended us a great home builder who has built many projects in the area, they're reputable and trustworthy, do great work, and all in all we're just over joyed with our entire experience, our new home to grow and raise our young family, and the community we've chosen. Oh and also we really love the new commercial projects that seem to be popping up, it's really adding to the community and definitely has an Inglewood vibe"
