Recently, Avenue Magazine released their annual list of Calgary’s Best Neighbourhoods, a ranking of the top 50 communities as voted on by Calgarians. We decided to take a closer look at the communities in the top 10, and give you some insight on what to see and do there.
In the number ten spot is the northwest community of Scenic Acres, bounded by Crowchild Trail, Nose Hill Drive and Stoney Trail.
- Population: 8,542
- Density/People per sq. km: 1,987
- Homeowners: 96%
- Median tax assessment of residential property, 2016: $528,000
According to Avenue Magazine, the top ranking qualities of Scenic Acres are:
- Parks/pathways: residents of this community have many pathways for walkers and cyclists alike, but also the luxury of Scenic Acres Park nearby.
- Access to major roads: this community is nestled among major roads to make transportation anywhere in the city a breeze (Crowchild Trail, Nose Hill Drive or Stoney Trail).
Ranked No.1 in parks and pathways, this aptly named northwest community enjoys the perks of suburban life with pristine views of both the downtown skyline and mountains. Thanks to sparse commercial development, Scenic Acres enjoys a large amount of green space that is frequented by wildlife as much as it is by locals. [Avenue Magazine]
