Profile
About Aspen Woods
Aspen Woods is an established estate community on the west side of Calgary, south of 17 Avenue SW and east of Stoney Trail, developed from the mid-2000s. It sits at the higher end of the Calgary market.
Its draw is a combination that is hard to assemble elsewhere: Aspen Landing for retail and restaurants, a concentration of well-regarded public and private schools in and around the community, mature landscaping, and quick access to Stoney Trail and Highway 1 for the mountains.
New construction is limited to occasional infill and custom builds on remaining lots. Aspen Woods appears here as the west-side comparison for buyers considering Alpine Park, the newer master plan a few minutes south on the ring road.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Bow Trail or Sarcee Trail, or the Blue Line from 69 Street station. Off-peak roughly 18 minutes, peak roughly 25 minutes.
Highlights
- Aspen Landing retail with grocery, restaurants and professional services.
- A concentration of public and private schools in and around the community.
- Mature estate streetscapes with established landscaping.
- Quick Stoney Trail and Highway 1 access west toward the mountains.
- Close to Westhills and Signal Hill shopping.
Considerations
- The highest price point of the west-side communities.
- Very little new construction; mostly resale, infill and custom builds.
- No CTrain station; the West LRT ends at 69 Street, a drive away.
- Custom infill on a remaining lot is a different process from buying from a volume builder.
