There are neighbourhoods, and then there are communities with a genuine idea behind them. With its pedestrian-friendly design, classic small-town architecture, landmark community buildings, and a thriving main street business centre, McKenzie Towne in southeast Calgary has been called a pioneer of new urbanism. Developed by Carma (now Brookfield) and established in 1995, McKenzie Towne's unique planning and design have earned it several awards, making it a sought-after neighbourhood in Calgary. Nearly three decades on, it remains one of the most recognizable and genuinely livable communities in the entire city.
One of the core principles of New Urbanism is offering a diverse range of housing options, and McKenzie Towne delivers on that promise, ensuring the community is accessible to people at all stages of life, from first-time homebuyers to growing families and downsizing retirees. You'll find character-filled detached homes with front porches and rear garages, townhomes, condominiums, and everything in between.
