5 Signs You’ve Found the Best Neighbourhood For Your Calgary Family

Moving with a family in tow can be challenging and when you make this big step, checking out schools, green spaces, and other amenities in the area is important to ensure you make the right decision for your loved ones.

Here are 5 characteristics of the best family neighbourhoods to keep in mind when looking for your new family home:

1. Safety. This is the most important factor parents should consider when moving into a new neighbourhood. You want your child to feel and be safe when walking to and from school, or heading to the nearby park. Besides touring the neighbourhood, make sure you go online to check out the crime rates in the area.

2. Green spaces. As a parent, you are looking for a fun and safe environment for your kids, and parks and playgrounds are important factors. Remember, you’ll be taking your child on playdates, and parks and other recreational areas are a great way to meet, and make connections with other families. Moreover, you want your child to grow up healthy and having a nearby park means they’ll get plenty of fresh air and exercise. (West Grove Green Spaces and Parks >)

3. Strong sense of community. When deciding on where to build or buy your family home, one critical factor that you should always take into account is whether or not the location has a strong sense of community. Strong social connections are important for your child because they help him/her build social skills, self-confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.

4. Access to key amenities: You want your family home to be near green spaces, but also close to key amenities, including healthcare facilities, banks, grocery stores, and more. West 85th is at the heart of West Springs and families here will have close access to a number of restaurants, top schools, childcare services, fashion stores, pet care services, and more.

5. Access to public transport: if you’re planning on staying in the neighbourhood for several years, make sure to look into public transportation in the area. Are there bus stops nearby or a train station? What areas of town does it pass through and will your child have easy access to downtown? These are all things you should consider before making your final decision. (The Rise at West Grove Estate Has Convenient Transit Access >)
