Arbour Lake is a northwest community bounded by Country Hills Boulevard, Crowchild Trail, Nose Hill Drive and Stoney Trail.

All of your amenities are within reach in this area too. In terms of investment opportunity, the median assessed property value is $449,000, which is down 4.5 per cent from last year. With the market expected to pick up drastically in no time, right now is a great chance to get into this heritage community at an affordable rate.
Some of the notable perks as ranked in the survey (overall ranking compared to all communities in Calgary):
- 4th overall for community engagement
- 8 out of 185 for access to restaurants, bars and coffee shops
- 81 out of 185 for crime
At the crossroads of Stoney Trail and Crowchild Trail, this northwest community is well situated for getting around the city and getting out to the mountains. But it’s what’s inside this neighbourhood that really counts, particularly the residents’ association members-only beach around the community’s eponymous lake. Not surprisingly, Arbour Lake also benefits from a high community-engagement score. [Avenue Magazine]
