Profile
About Dawson's Landing
Dawson's Landing is a Qualico Communities development in Chestermere. Compare the current builder releases and the exact phase before selecting a home; Qualico develops the community and individual builders supply the homes.
The plan is organised around stormwater ponds, a pathway network and central green space, with product running from townhomes and paired homes through laned and front-drive singles. That range makes it one of the more accessible entry points into a lake city.
The community is partway through build-out. Earlier phases have finished landscaping while newer ones sit beside active construction, and Chestermere's own retail and recreation are north of the community rather than inside it.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Highway 1 and 17 Avenue SE, or Glenmore Trail. Off-peak roughly 26 minutes, peak roughly 35 minutes.
Highlights
- A Qualico master plan with multiple home-building offerings.
- Ponds, central green space and a connected pathway network.
- Product from townhomes through front-drive single-family under one developer.
- Community architectural controls apply alongside each builder’s specification.
Considerations
- Chestermere sets its own property tax and utility rates; compare the full monthly cost with Calgary.
- Schools are administered by Rocky View Schools rather than the Calgary boards.
- Newer phases sit beside active construction.
- Builder assignments and available products change by phase.
