Varsity Village was developed in a way that separated the local streets from through traffic and the vehicle traffic from the pedestrians. They used as many cul-de-sacs as possible and forwent rear lanes in favour of pedestrian pathways that connected to parks behind the houses and not adjacent to streets. The intent was to create a park-like setting for users of the rear walkways. In many places in the neighbourhood where private fences have not been built, this intent has been maintained as it has in this home.
The neighbourhood is highly sought after not only for its unique, family focused design but mostly for its excellent location. Within a 10 minute walk you can be at the University of Calgary, the Brentwood C-Train station, the vibrant University district with all its shops, services & restaurants, and Market Mall. Given its close proximity to hospitals and medical institutions in the city namely the Foothills Medical Centre and Alberta Children’s Hospital, Varsity is a preferred choice among medical and other healthcare professionals. Downtown is quick & easy to get to for commuters as well as hopping onto the new Ring Road to get around town or out of town!
