A Colourful Community: Redstone Combines Ample Green Space with an Assortment of Housing Options
New communities continue to open a world of opportunity for homebuyers in Calgary's blossoming northeast.
Take, for example, the community of Redstone, a master-planned development by Qualico Communities gracing 360 acres (146 hectares) north of 128th Avenue N.E.
Bordered by Metis Trail to the west and Stoney Trail to the north, the community has been a success story since its launch in 2010.
Today, Redstone is entering the final stages of its build-out. According to the 2021 municipal census, the community already has a population of 9,050 residents living in 2,665 private households . Upon full completion, the community is projected to include around 2,500 single-family homes and 1,000 multi-family units .
“When we initially started developing the vision for the land in 2008, it was on the cusp of the City reworking its land-use bylaws, so we really wanted to see where we could go with it,” said Garett Wohlberg, director of planning and communications at Qualico.
At the time, everything north of Saddle Ridge was farmer's fields and long prairie grasses blowing in the wind.
The vision for Redstone entailed a master-plan with some never-before-seen housing types and recreation spaces – new concepts to the Calgary marketplace.
The developer travelled to the U.S., gathering ideas and product types that hadn't traditionally been part of the Calgary marketplace. Ideas include garden lots, where homes with large verandas front directly onto park space, secondary suite options, and a Participark that weaves into a 3.5-kilometre community pathway system featuring a permanent installation of circuit training equipment .
Community Highlights (2026):
Amenities: The community features over 3.5 km of pathways, a central Participark with adult-sized outdoor exercise equipment, a playground, and a basketball court . A future LRT station is planned at 128th Avenue N.E., alongside a 15-acre transit-oriented development site .
Housing: Current average home prices are approximately $536,000, with options ranging from townhomes and condos to single-family detached homes .
Schools: Two future school sites are planned within the community, with current access to both public and Catholic schools just minutes away
