Homes Built for Families
The lot sizes in Wedderburn are much larger than what you tend to see closer to the city. This means your kids will have room to play and grow throughout the years.
It also means that we’re focusing our efforts on building bigger homes. In this community, you can select from many of our front-attached homes, giving your family the room they need, both for living and entertaining. You’ll probably even be able to include a bonus room or two just to give you a little bit of extra space.
Beautiful Community Space
The neighbourhood itself does have a distinct residential feel, but you’ll find that the design gives you plenty of opportunities to get outside and connect with nature. There’s a stormwater pond nearby, and Okotoks contains over 80km of walking and biking trails that connect Wedderburn to other areas. This is perfect for families who like to stay active together. All you need to do is head out your front door. And with two playgrounds for the kids, they won’t be bored and they’ll almost always be able to find some friends to play with.
A Great Neighbourhood School
You want your children to get the best education, but you don’t want them to have to travel far. Luckily, there’s a new K-9 Meadow Ridge School within walking distance and scheduled to open this Fall
Even better, the pathway to the school is along a designated Safe Route Network. These paths are clearly marked and designed to safely lead kids from their home to the school without having to cross major highways. After a few times to get the hang of the route, you may even feel comfortable sending the kids off to school on their own or with friends. It’s just like when you went to school.
Gateway Village
The building plans for Wedderburn include a commercial centre called Gateway Village. This area will be home to a number of retail stores, making it incredibly easy for you to get your shopping done.
As with the rest of the community, this area is still being developed. Construction on a grocery store in Gateway Village is expected to begin in 2020 with all of the phases expected to be finalized by 2025. If you were to build your home now, the grocery store should be ready soon after you move in, and more will quickly follow.
Convenient Location
Wedderburn is located for your convenience. You’re just a few kilometres away from the Calgary perimeter, so you can easily get to any location in the city. This is great news for those who need to commute for work. It only takes about 45 minutes to get to the downtown core. If you work closer to home, you’ll have an even easier commute.
You’ll also find that even though Wedderburn has that small-town feel, you’re actually close to a number of important amenities. For instance, there is the Okotoks Cinema, Costco Wholesale and Gas Bar, Save-On-Foods, RBC Royal Bank, a Pharmacy and many other necessities just a few minutes’ drive away.
Nearby Fun
Those who live in Wedderburn can have fun right in the neighbourhood, but there’s plenty to do nearby as well. Golfers like to play at the D’Arcy Ranch Golf Club, and baseball fans have fun watching the Okotoks Dawgs play a game. They’re pretty good!
The community is close to the foothills for those who really want to get out in nature, but when the weather isn’t cooperating, you can head to the Okotoks Recreation Centre, where they have opportunities to swim, skate, or use the fitness equipment. Clearly, your family will be able to relax and come together in an area like this.
Wedderburn is a growing, up-and-coming community, and if you choose to build your home here, you’ll be able to get in at the start. That’s a smart move for property values. We think you’re going to like what you see in Wedderburn and in the homes that Prominent Homes builds. Come out to take a tour. We’re open from 2-8pm on Mondays and Thursdays, and 12-5pm on the weekends.
