Kincora is a mature community in the Symons Valley area of north-west Calgary, immediately beside the Creekside retail centre and south of Stoney Trail. It was built out through the 2000s and is complete on the single-family side.
The community is known for its Scottish naming theme and for the ravine and pond system running through it. Its practical strength is location: Creekside, Beacon Hill and Sage Hill Quarter retail are all within a few minutes, so daily shopping needs no highway trip.
There is very little new construction left. Kincora belongs on a new build site mainly as a comparison point: it shows what the newer Symons Valley communities north of the ring road will look like once their landscaping matures and their retail opens.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Shaganappi Trail or Sarcee Trail. Off-peak roughly 28 minutes, peak roughly 38 minutes.
