Building an urban feel into suburban Alberta
Earlier this summer, Naomi Bell and Stephen James moved their young family into their newly built, 1,900-square-foot home in Alpine Park, a new greenfield community in southwest Calgary – but this wasn’t their first choice.
“We never thought we would move to a suburb, because we don’t appreciate car culture, which is really big in Calgary,” Ms. Bell says, emphasizing the importance of living within walking distance from shopping, restaurants and parks, as the family did in Calgary’s Beltline.
