Ask anyone who lives in Cranston why they chose it, and they'll usually say the same thing: The nature. But spend a little more time here and you realize it's never just one thing, it's the combination of Fish Creek at your back door, the Bow River in the valley below, Century Hall down the street, great schools within walking distance, and the entire Seton urban district five minutes away. Cranston offers residents a lifestyle not easily equaled by many of the city's neighbourhoods.
Bounded by Stoney Trail to the north and Fish Creek Park and the Bow River to the west and south, Cranston enjoys one of the most privileged natural settings of any community in Calgary. The community has grown to encompass over 6,000 homes and more than 18,000 residents, large enough to have full infrastructure and amenities, but with a design that never lets you forget you're living beside one of Canada's great urban parks.
