For this installment, let’s look at another wonderful community on the city’s edge, Woodbine. Bordering on the Tsuu T’ina First Nation in Calgary’s Southwest, Woodbine is a 33 year-old community 10,000 people strong, that’s become popular with higher income earners (median income is in the mid-$80,000s) and those appreciating quick access to mountain getaways.

The Woodcreek Community Association recently completed an addition to its popular community centre, making it even more versatile for the varied groups using the facility; Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, a Lions club, seniors groups, and the Bulldogs football club are just some taking advantage of the centre’s playing fields, tennis courts, skating rinks, halls, boardrooms, and other amenities.

Within Woodbine’s 3.5 square kilometres is also a karate studio, a dance studio, and a fitness centre, along with both public and separate elementary schools. Fish Creek Park and Glenmore Park are both in close proximity.

One attractive feature of Woodbine is it’s low crime rate compared to the rest of Calgary: in 2006 and 2007, the community recorded the lowest person and property crime rates in the city, according to the Calgary Police Service.

Cranston is a lovely little community in southeast Calgary, nearing the southern edge of the city limits. With more than 40 percent of its population between the ages of 25 and 44, it’s clearly an appealing area to buy a first home and start a family, with more than 95 percent of the housing in the community single family homes (this compared to about 55 percent city-wide). Average sale price for a Cranston home is about $550,000.

Cranston’s nearly 12,000 residents are served by a two year-old public elementary school, and a Catholic K-9 school of the same age; older children are bussed to nearby communities.

Amenities in Cranston are quite impressive, starting with the newly built Century Hall. This private facility, accessible only to residents and their guests, features a 7-acre gated park, tennis courts, a full-size gym, meeting rooms, and a waterpark. Across the street is Cranston Market, home to a Sobeys, Subway, Good Earth Cafe, as well as a dentist, vet, and optometrist. Cranstonites (as they may or may not like to be called) also enjoy close-by access to Fish Creek Park and the Bow River.

Almost half of the children in Cranston are under 6, meaning there are plenty of playmates for the kids and a good likelihood of increased school capacity in the medium term. It’s a fast-growing community, and shows no sign of slowing down.
