In these last days of summer, there is a renewed energy going through Calgary’s new home market. New communities and new showhomes seem to be opening up every week, I should know, my head’s still spinning from the whirlwind weekend checking out the latest launches.

Our travels sent us all through most of Calgary’s satellite towns and beyond, starting with our cover feature for Heartland in Cochrane, where Apex Developments just opened their latest phase and welcomed new builders. Check out our cover feature to see how much the countryfied lifestyle appeals to today’s new homebuyers.

We also toured Vesta Properties Southpoint in Airdrie where new laned and duplex showhomes made their debut in the latest phase (their development of Copperstone in southeast Calgary also features prominently in this issue – check out the oversized insert inside).

Our Explore Okotoks feature also took us through the latest developments going on in this scenic town just south of Calgary, which if you didn’t know has become a hotspot not just for new home growth but for dining and entertainment as well.

My Inside Calgary news column bears out all our travels this month as we bring you all the other brand-new developments going on in the city from Chestermere to the Tsuut’ina Nation and all points in between. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and you’ll see just how much we enjoy checking out these new showhomes and communities.

Find out also the latest news about Hopewell Residential’s Arbour Lake West community in the northwest and StreetSide Development’s new initiatives inside. As well as the joyous news for the return of the Calgary Fall Home Show.

Lastly, we have Travel Alberta’s list of Calgary’s best walking paths to guide you on the most scenic routes to take as you discover beautiful spots you may not have been aware of around the city. Can’t have better weather than right now. Go out and explore!
