When you get to that time of life where you’re ready to start your family, finding the best spot to do so can be a challenge. Do you choose the convenience of the lively, dynamic big city with all it has to offer for work and play? Or the safety and beauty of a tight-knit, idyllic small-town community? Well, thankfully, you don’t have to choose one or the other.
Chappelle Gardens, a burgeoning community in Southwest Edmonton, offers the best of both worlds: convenient access to big city amenities, transit and culture with all the charm, security and pacing a small town has to offer.
With a range of amenities, from the tree-lined paths, parks and pristine view-scapes of Whitemud Creek Ravine — just a stone’s throw away — to the convenience of nearby schools, shopping and entertainment, Chappelle Gardens offers a holistic, slower take on city life. One that puts neighbourhood spirit front and centre — and has won awards through the Canadian Home Builders’ Association to prove it, including Best Community in 2024. Nowhere is that more evident than in the neighbourhood’s resident’s association.
“It’s the focal point; the heart of the community,” says Peter Tsoukalas, director of planning and development at Brookfield Residential, developer of Chappelle Gardens. “It offers activities and programming that are unique to the community and leads into that overall feeling of small-town atmosphere.”
Most of those activities happen at the Social House — a community hub where residents gather for everything from a pickup game of shinny at the NHL-sized rink (complete with Zamboni) during the winter to weddings, barbecues or just an evening spent watching the Edmonton Oilers overtake the Flames. There’s even an on-site daycare, meaning your morning commute just got that much easier.
So, whether you’re moving into one of the single-family, multi-family, detached, duplex or townhomes offered in Chappelle Gardens, what you’re really moving into is a community that already feels like home.
