Mattamy community north of Stoney Trail with a pond, pathways and a broad product mix.

Profile

About Carrington

Carrington is a Mattamy Homes community in north Calgary, north of Stoney Trail and west of Centre Street North, in the corridor that also contains Livingston and Glacier Ridge. Mattamy is both developer and principal builder, giving the community a consistent look.

The community is planned around a central pond and pathway system, with a product mix that runs from townhomes and duplexes to laned and front-drive single-family homes. That range makes it one of the more accessible entry points into the north-west corridor.

Carrington is partway through its build-out. Southern phases are established with landscaping in place, while northern phases are still being delivered, so what a buyer experiences depends heavily on which phase the lot sits in.

Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Stoney Trail and Centre Street North or Shaganappi Trail. Off-peak roughly 30 minutes, peak roughly 40 minutes.

Highlights

  • Central pond and pathway network as the community amenity.
  • Broad product mix from townhomes through front-drive single-family.
  • Single developer and principal builder, so architectural controls are consistent.
  • Established Sage Hill, Beacon Hill and Creekside retail a short drive south.

Considerations

  • Northern phases are still under construction while southern phases are established.
  • Peak commute to downtown is long; Stoney Trail carries heavy volumes.
  • On-site schools open on the school board timeline, not the developer timeline.
  • Fewer builder choices than in a multi-builder community such as Glacier Ridge.

What exists, what is planned and what could change

We separate an operating facility from funded construction, a developer announcement and a long-range plan. A sales map shows intended land uses; it does not guarantee a builder, tenant, school, road, opening date or uninterrupted view. Written information for the exact phase and lot takes priority over this profile.
