Community Spotlight: Legacy

Legacy is a new, master-planned community east of MacLeod Trail, south of Walden and west of the Bow River.

Neighbourhood Vibe & Lifestyle

The community itself emphasizes connection to nature, walkability, and modern amenities. Its design features include a substantial 300-acre environmental reserve, and more than 15 kilometres of paved walking paths that wind through parks, ponds and green space.

The architecture leans toward “timeless” styling: stone-entry features, a central clock tower, and builders using classic materials and detailing — helping the homes age gracefully.

For families, the community is well-equipped: there are playgrounds, a community garden, and the Legacy Residents Association supports events and maintains communal spaces.

Commercially, Legacy offers convenience: multiple shopping centers (Legacy Village, Legacy Corner, Township, Legacy Grove) bring grocery, retail, fitness and dining right into the neighbourhood

Real Estate Highlights

Housing mix & price ranges:

• Homes in Legacy span a wide spectrum: condos and townhomes at the entry level; single-family front-drive homes; and higher-end estate homes on larger lots.

• Builder-offered starting points: for example, one builder lists front-garage models from the mid $600s and estate homes from the high $500s, with signature estate homes rising into the $1 million+ range.

• Current listings show detached homes around the $1 million mark in recent sample listings.

Location & transit:

• Legacy’s access to major routes is a strong asset: Macleod Trail and Stoney Trail allow for commutes toward downtown or the airport, and the setting south of Calgary offers quieter surroundings but relatively straightforward access.

• For families, strategic planning includes schools within the community, though some are still planned/future phases.

Outdoor & lifestyle amenities that support value:

• The 300-acre protected reserve means less risk of heavy infill or dense redevelopment nearby, which is a positive from a homeowner’s perspective.

• Extensive walking/biking paths and green space boost appeal for buyers looking for lifestyle and recreation, which can support resale value and attract families.

• Newer build homes often include modern features like energy-efficient construction, smart-home tech, and premium finishes (especially in the estate segments) which may command a premium.

Legacy is not just a house-for-sale area it’s a thoughtfully designed neighbourhood with lifestyle, green space and mixed housing.
