The major real estate market development of the Red Carpet/Mountview area took place in the 1950’s. The residential community, however, wasn’t established until much later in 1972.

The community consists mostly of mobile homes, but there are also Red Carpet/Mountview condos for sale as well. The neighbourhood is one of the most affordable in Calgary and this is a major attraction for buyers as well.

One of the primary recreational amenities for home buyers in the Red Carpet/Mountview area is Elliston Regional Park. It is within walking distance from the neighbourhood and the beautiful lake in the centre of the park creates the ideal setting for relaxing. It’s great to feel the breeze while engaging in various sports activities or just lounging with a book under a tree.

The park is full of pathways, which are ideal for leisurely walking, running, jogging and bicycle riding. There are picnic tables and benches set up for families that want to enjoy a meal in the great outdoors and kids love the big playground. Families with dogs can walk them off their leashes in the designated area. Some of the other major attractions in the park include a rose garden and an interactive sundial.

Other leisure facilities that are easily accessible to home buyers in Red Carpet/Mountview include the Bow River pedestrian pathway system and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Nature Center. Both options are great for families with children. Adults looking for fun in the nearby area should consider the Big Rock Brewery, which offers tours with tastings, fine food and free gifts.

Home owners can easily access the supermarkets, small shops and restaurants with different national cuisines located along 17 Avenue, which is also called International Avenue due to its ethnic diversity. The shopping area of 36 Street SE is also close by.

Red Carpet/Mountview is a part of the WHM Community Association, which offers numerous sports activities for children and teens.

Red Carpet/Mountview real estate benefits from many public schools in the local area. Some of the closest ones include Patrick Airlie Elementary, Ernest Morrow Junior High and Jack James Senior High.
