West Springs sits immediately north of Aspen Woods on the west side of Calgary, between 17 Avenue SW and Bow Trail. It was developed through the 2000s and is now a mature community with a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes.
It shares Aspen Landing and the west-side school cluster with Aspen Woods but generally sits below it on price, which has made it a common step for families who want the west-side schools and retail without estate pricing.
New construction is limited to infill on redeveloped lots and the occasional multi-family project. Like Aspen Woods, it is most useful here as the established west-side comparison for Alpine Park.
Commute note: Approximate drive to downtown Calgary via Bow Trail, or the Blue Line from 69 Street station. Off-peak roughly 17 minutes, peak roughly 24 minutes.
