Acadia Community Reviews

""

Calgary's Family-Friendly Neighborhood with Big City Buzz Acadia isn't just a place to live, it's a place to thrive. Tucked away in Calgary's southeast corner, this vibrant community offers a friendly mix of leafy streets, bustling businesses, and top-notch schools – all with the Bow River shimmering just a stone's throw away. Think Fairmount Drive: your one-stop shop for grabbing groceries, catching a coffee, or cheering on the local sports team at a pub. And speaking of cheering, Acadia boasts Lord Beaverbrook High School, the city's biggest, buzzing with young minds and future leaders. But Acadia isn't just about the hustle and bustle. Families flock here for the strong sense of community. Kids of all ages have their pick of schools, from the charming Acadia Elementary to the dynamic David Thompson Middle School. Plus, with green spaces galore and the Bow River practically begging for picnics, there's always room for some good old-fashioned fun in the sun. Did I mention affordability? Compared to some Calgary neighborhoods, Acadia feels refreshingly down-to-earth. In 2004, the median household income was around $46,000, with a welcoming mix of homeowners and renters. Whether you're a young family starting out or a couple looking for a comfortable place to settle, Acadia's got your back. So, if you're searching for a neighborhood that's got it all – friendly faces, family vibes, and a touch of city energy – look no further than Acadia. This hidden gem by the Bow River might just be your Calgary happy place.
