Real estate development in Legacy is underway, with final plans indicating that the area will be home to around 6,500 new homes for sale. These plans also show that 300 acres of land is being preserved in order to avoid displacing a number of natural habitats currently in the area. This kind of careful town planning is reflective of more ethically conscious and a socially aware society that expects humans to respect nature and the environment as much as possible.

While final plans for Legacy estimate around 6,500 homes, these will be rolled out on a phased basis. The types of homes planned for this community vary from apartments to expansive single-family detached homes with space for a growing family. These Legacy homes will also vary in price, so that a community reflective of the general population will be represented in Legacy.

Along Macleod Trail home buyers will find a wide assortment of shopping amenities to choose from and you can also head here to eat out, enjoy a movie or grab a cup of coffee. Downtown Calgary is easy to access through major roads or public transportation.

The plans for Legacy also include a wide series of walkways, pathways and hiking trails that will run through the area. When this is combined with the 300 acres of land reserved for conservation, the result that the homes here will have access to a number of stunning walkways and green spaces. These walkways give Legacy an excellent building block to further expand the recreational facilities and amenities which will include sports fields and parks.

Families purchasing a home for sale in Legacy will be pleased to find that there are a number of nearby schools that serve the new area and as the community grows, more should be established.
