Discovery Ridge Real Estate
Discovery Ridge real estate is a healthy mix of many kinds of homes, although are still many executive homes that were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Some feature Mediterranean-style stucco and brick accent exteriors that were popular in communities across Calgary in the 1990s and 2000s.
Originally developed on the northern banks of the Bow River, a select amount of Discovery Ridge homes feature pristine views of the surrounding wilderness and mountains to the west. The river and creeks to the south are set amid forested lands, complete with paved pathways great for leisure and recreation year-round.
Newer built homes in the area depart from this style of exteriors and feature more contemporary design, offering only the best in modern living. From villas and bungalows to semi-estate and estate properties, the neighbourhood has become very popular among those who love the great outdoors.
The community’s multi-family properties consist of medium-density, villa-style condominiums. Professional landscaping throughout is appealing and keeps its streets tidy for families to enjoy.

Also close by is Sierra Morena Park where you will find public volleyball and basketball courts. These are good for spring and summer, while for colder seasons the all-inclusive facilities of Westside Recreation Centre are of great use and easy to reach in less than five minutes of driving.
