Focus On: West Springs

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

The roughly four square kilometre community of West Springs was once part of the MD of Rockyview, before the land was annexed by the City in the mid-90s. In 2001, West Springs proper was established, and since then it has grown to a population of more than 8000 residents, including the smaller sub-communities of Wentworth, Springside, and West Springs Farm. Skirting the westernmost limits of Calgary’s southern limits, West Springs is an upper-middle class community with average incomes around $90,000 per year; the median price of West Springs homes sold last month was about $550,000.

Wentworth is a small community of about 1000 people located within the larger area of West Springs, in southwest Calgary. Household incomes in West Springs are significantly higher than much of the city, averaging about $110,000 annually. Not surprisingly, then, homes tend to be large and pricey; 97% of homes are owned, as opposed to rented. Springside is a roughly 500 home community on 100 acres of land in West Springs off the west end of Bow Trail.

The Calgary Board of Education recently opened a new elementary school in West Springs, serving students up to grade 6, and there are also local junior high and high schools along with a Catholic elementary school and a private, hockey-focused school in the community.

Residents of West Springs tend to appreciate the relatively short commute times to downtown, with Bow Trail going right into their neighbourhood and the convenience of the new west LRT line that opened last fall. Some parts of West Springs are also walking distance to Canada Olympic Park, home to parks and pathways shared with Springbank, and not all that far from the mountain playground we have nearby.

New Listing in Springside

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

55 Wentworth Circle SW

What a great deal for a great home! Just one block from Joan of Arc Catholic elementary and also within the walk-zone for West Springs public elementary. Downtown is an easy commute via a short drive or you can use the newly-opened West LRT station. This home boasts a unique and functional open floor plan with a fully developed basement which includes a full bath, an extra bedroom and a large family/rec room. Even with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and 2500 developed square feet, this is still the best deal in Springside. Upgraded hardwood is found on the main floor, AND up the stairs and throughout all upper bedrooms. Other recent upgrades include all the trim, a fully fenced yard, and programmable irrigation. The home has central air-conditioning too, so you’ll be able to get a good night’s sleep every night. Ahhh!
