Profile
Taradale is a mature north-east community south of Saddle Ridge, developed from the late 1990s through the 2000s. It is fully built out and functions as one of the established anchors of the quadrant.
The community includes a small lake and green space, has schools open at multiple levels, and sits within a short drive of Saddletowne station, the Genesis Centre and the retail around Saddletowne Circle. It is one of the more affordable established communities in Calgary.
There is no meaningful new construction. Taradale appears here as a comparison point for buyers weighing a finished north-east community against new construction in Cornerstone or Homestead.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Falconridge Boulevard and Deerfoot Trail, or the Blue Line from Saddletowne. Off-peak roughly 22 minutes, peak roughly 28 minutes.

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.
Taradale is in a limited-availability stage. Remaining opportunities may be tied to one builder, one housing format, a quick possession or a final phase.
Buyer check: Ask for a dated inventory sheet, release map and written lot-hold terms.
Schools open in the community: Public and Catholic schools operate here; confirm designation per address.
Buyer check: Run the exact address through both applicable school-board finders before removing conditions.
The profile identifies Taradale lake and green space, Saddletowne CTrain station, Genesis Centre, Schools open in the community. Travel times and access should be tested from the exact phase and at the time of day you expect to use them.
Buyer check: Separate open facilities, funded construction and long-range plan symbols on the sales map.
The street beside a lot can change as later phases, collector roads, commercial parcels and multi-family sites are developed. A landscaped sales-centre route may not be the permanent route.
Buyer check: Request the approved phase plan and current land-use map for every parcel beside and behind the lot.

Taradale has a small lake and green space, but it is not a lake community in the sense that Mahogany, Auburn Bay or Chestermere are. There is no private beach club or residents-only lake amenity of that scale. Confirm what access, if any, comes with a specific property.
Taradale is in a limited-availability stage. Remaining opportunities may be tied to one builder, one housing format, a quick possession or a final phase. Ask the developer or builder for a dated inventory sheet before planning around a specific home or possession date.
This profile does not treat a master-plan symbol as an opening commitment. Ask which schools, parks, shops, roads and facilities are open, funded, under construction or still conceptual.
Designated public and Catholic schools for the specific address (CBE and CCSD school finders), and whether any on-site school is open or only planned. Age of major components on any resale home. Any community association fee and what it covers. Also request the approved plan for neighbouring parcels, because future roads, commercial uses and building heights can affect noise, traffic, privacy and views.
