Here’s your opportunity to get into the established neighbourhood of Acadia at a great price. With streets lined with mature trees and charming family-friendly homes, the community of Acadia is a pleasant reminder of what Calgary was like when it was a much smaller city. The neighbourhood's proximity to major traffic arteries gives residents easy access to all the benefits that come with the city's growth including a quick 15 minute commute to Downtown. It has become a neighbourhood undergoing a rejuvenation with many young families moving here as well as welcoming back those who left many years ago. Part of Acadia’s appeal is an abundance of recreational facilities, with the Aquatic & Fitness Centre, the Recreation Complex & Athletic Park offering multiple activities and don’t forget the new indoor Tennis centre. In addition to having a good number of grocery, drug stores and services, Acadia also ranks well for its number of pubs and entertainment venues. (check out the Italian market at Southland & Fairview a favourite for groceries, specialty items and an excellent pastry and espresso). despite being so close to that retail bustle, the core of Acadia remains a quiet and friendly community. One of its biggest selling points is the sheer number of schools in the area. With regular and alternative-programs, elementary and junior high schools in both the public and separate systems its no wonder that this gem of a neighbourhood is still thriving 60 years after its inception.
