Profile
About Evanston
Evanston is a Qualico Communities neighbourhood in north Calgary, west of Symons Valley Parkway and south of Stoney Trail. It was built out through the late 2000s and 2010s and is now essentially complete.
Its strengths are the ones that come with maturity. Schools are open, the ravine and pathway system is established, parks are finished, and the Creekside and Sage Hill retail cluster is minutes away. Families moving here are not waiting for anything.
Remaining new construction is mostly townhome and apartment product in the multi-family pockets. Single-family homes trade as resale. Evanston functions on this site as the benchmark for what buyers in Glacier Ridge, Ambleton and Moraine are waiting for.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Symons Valley Parkway and Shaganappi Trail. Off-peak roughly 28 minutes, peak roughly 38 minutes.
Highlights
- Schools open and operating inside the community.
- Ravine and pathway system with established natural areas.
- Creekside, Sage Hill Quarter and Beacon Hill retail minutes away.
- Finished parks, streetscapes and mature landscaping.
Considerations
- Little new single-family construction remains; most activity is resale.
- North-west peak commute of roughly 35 to 45 minutes to downtown.
- No CTrain station in the community.
- Condominium fees apply to the remaining townhome and apartment product.
