Real Estate Redwood Meadows Alberta

Perched 20 km west of Calgary and 5 km from Bragg Creek, Redwood Meadows is the province’s sole “townsite” — a self-run community that leases land from the Tsuut’ina Nation while electing its own mayor and council. Only 354 single-family homes sit on sprawling, treed lots, giving every resident the elbow-room of country living without surrendering modern services or high-speed internet. Weekends revolve around golf-course tee-times, river-bank picnics, and volunteer-powered events that transform neighbours into friends. For buyers craving both privacy and participation, real estate in Redwood Meadows offers a rare middle path: big-sky tranquility, small-town spirit, and Calgary’s career market still within commuting range.

Set where Highways 8 and 22X intersect, Redwood Meadows keeps urban commutes scenic and short. Downtown Calgary averages a 30-minute cruise; Cochrane is 20 minutes north, and YYC International Airport sits under 50 minutes away.

Quick commute facts:

• Hwy 8 → Sarcee Trail: reaches Calgary’s west LRT in ≈ 25 min.
• Hwy 22X → Stoney Trail Ring Road: skip traffic lights, hit SE/NE Calgary fast.
• Foothills Foothpath network: 30 km of paved shoulders—popular with road cyclists.
• Bragg Creek park-and-ride: informal car-pool hub five minutes south.
• Kananaskis Country: trailheads and ski areas within a 30-minute scenic drive.

Whether you steer a car, bike, or car-share, getting out — and getting home — rarely involves city-core congestion.

Families here fall under Rocky View Schools, renowned for strong academics and flexible programs. Local kids start at nearby Banded Peak (K–8) before bus routes fan out to high-schools in Springbank or Calgary.

Notable schools

• Banded Peak (K–8): outdoor-ed focus, in-class forest walks.
• Springbank Community High (9-12): AP courses & athletics.
• Elbow Valley Elementary: French-Immersion stream.
• St. Michael School (K–9, Catholic): faith-based option in Bragg Creek.
• Mount Royal University & U of C: 35-45 min for post-secondary.

Add a volunteer fire hall, on-site community centre, licensed day-cares, and kid-heavy cul-de-sacs, and raising children here feels purpose-built for play and peace of mind.

Buyers can choose between homes backing the Redwood Meadows Golf & Country Club, lots fronting the Elbow River’s cottonwood banks, or quiet interior streets wrapped in evergreens. Each property sits on leased Tsuut’ina Nation land — an arrangement now being renegotiated past 2049, bolstering buyer confidence. The Redwood Meadows Community Association (RMCA) animates life with events like Canada Day fireworks, Santa in the Woods, and community-wide garage sales. Monthly council and RMCA meetings give residents a direct voice, while volunteer crews maintain the outdoor rink and summer sport fields. The result? Privacy when you close the front door, camaraderie the moment you step outside.

Step out your back gate into 30-plus kilometres of townsite pathways or drive 15 minutes to Elbow Falls, Bragg Creek Provincial Park, or the hidden Canyon Creek Ice Cave. On home turf you’ll find soccer and baseball diamonds, resurfaced tennis courts, and a multi-use outdoor rink that converts to pickleball in summer.
