Profile
About Riverstone at Cranston
Riverstone is the river valley phase of Cranston, developed by Brookfield Residential on the escarpment above the Bow River in south-east Calgary. It is the most expensive part of Cranston and sits well below the community above it, connected directly to the river pathway system.
Product here is estate and villa rather than entry-level: larger lots, walkouts stepping toward the valley, and a number of bungalow villa developments aimed at downsizers who want the river without stairs. Residents share the Cranston Century Hall association amenity with the rest of Cranston.
Riverstone is late in its build-out. Most remaining opportunities are resale or final estate and villa releases, and view lots command significant premiums over interior sites.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Deerfoot Trail or Stoney Trail. Off-peak roughly 27 minutes, peak roughly 35 minutes.
Highlights
- Direct access to the Bow River valley and the regional pathway system.
- Estate and villa product with walkout and view lots on the escarpment.
- Cranston Century Hall residents association amenity, shared with Cranston.
- South Health Campus and Seton retail a short drive away.
Considerations
- Highest price point in Cranston; view and walkout lots carry large premiums.
- Cranston Residents Association fee is registered on title.
- Limited new construction remaining; much of the activity is resale.
- Sloped valley sites can add engineering and landscaping cost.

Questions about Riverstone at Cranston
Riverstone is the lower, river valley phase of Cranston, developed later and at a higher price point. It carries the estate and villa product, the walkout and view lots, and direct pathway access to the Bow. The rest of Cranston, on the plateau above, holds the laned, front-drive and townhome product and most of the schools and retail.
The annual fee funds Century Hall and its programming, which Riverstone residents share with the rest of Cranston. The fee is registered on title. Confirm the current amount and what it includes with the association before you buy.
