FAST FACTS COMMUNITY: Walden DEVELOPER: Genstar Development Company SINGLE-FAMILY: conditions in Calgary’s new home market puts all the advantages to the buyer. “What people need to realize is that it is actually a buyers market and a great time to get into a home,” adding that prices are holding steady. “Price point is an important distinction for us. Actually, Walden is the only place in Calgary where you can get a home on the ridge under the $1-million mark.” Those one-of-a-kind ridge lots present stunning views of downtown and the Bow River valley. These lots will back onto a pathway system that connects to the river valley and to Fish Creek Park that is about a 15-minute walk or five-minute bike ride away, Putnam says. Beyond those is a wealth of multi- and singlefamily offerings that span the whole range of price points. Walden offers everything from apartment condos, townhomes, duplexes, laned homes, move-up homes and those aforementioned estate homes on the ridge. The builder group in Walden includes Avi Urban, Rockford Developments, Cardel Lifestyles, and Excel Homes for multi-family homes; and Baywest Homes, Excel Homes, Homes by Avi, California Homes, Cardel Homes, Daytona Homes, Prominent Homes and Arcuri Homes for singlefamily and duplex homes. “There is not one set of select buyer group that has been consistently buying in Walden,” Putnam says. “I think this is due to all the different products available. If I had to pick, we see a lot of first-time buyers and new families starting out here in Walden.” n
