Walden Real Estate & Houses for Sale

The character of Walden is exemplified by its calm environment. Green spaces, including Lake Chapparal Recreation Centre, are very well-spread out and there are about 40 of them close by for residents to explore, which makes it easy to get to them. The noise levels in this part of Calgary are also very low, as the streets are very tranquil.

Transportation

This part of Calgary is especially car friendly. It is easy to park, and many properties for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway. In contrast, Walden is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, there are approximately 10 bus lines passing through the neighbourhood, and bus stops are not very far away from most houses. Walden is rather conducive to bicycling because there are a limited number of hills, and the cycling network is fairly good. A majority of the houses for sale in this neighbourhood are located in areas that are not especially convenient for those who travel on foot since most daily needs are impractical to meet without a car.

Housing

In Walden, about 60% of dwellings are single detached homes, while small apartment buildings and townhouses make up most of the remaining housing stock. This neighbourhood offers mainly two bedroom and three bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy about 80% of the units in Walden and the rest are rented. The homes in this neighbourhood are very new, because the vast majority of its dwellings were constructed after the year 2000.

Services

Daycares are convenient to get to as a pedestrian from most houses for sale in this part of Calgary. On the other hand, there are only a few high schools in Walden and accordingly they can be an extended walk away. Additionally, this part of Calgary does not contain any primary schools. Concerning food, a supermarket is ordinarily accessible within a rather short trip from most houses for sale in Walden. A limited variety of restaurants and cafes is available as well.
