Brookfield Residential Communities , Nexton, Barefoot, Livingston, Chappelle Gardens, Amoruso Ranch & Kissing Tree
Brookfield Residential builds most of the master‑planned neighbourhoods around Calgary. Their portfolio includes Nexton, Barefoot, Livingston, Chappelle Gardens, Amoruso Ranch and Kissing Tree. Each community offers a mix of townhomes, detached homes and detached duplexes, plus shared amenities like trails, parks and community centres.
The builder’s own site notes that over 70 years of experience have led to industry‑leading safety and energy standards (Brookfield Residential). Buyers who choose Brookfield often benefit from flexible interior upgrade packages and a “We Pay Your Rent” program that can cover up to six months of rent while the home is being finished.
Brookfield’s communities tend to launch at a mid‑range price point, and the mix of unit types means a buyer can find a three‑bedroom townhouse at a more affordable price in some phases.
Genesis Land Development, Bayview (Airdrie)
Bayview in Airdrie is a master‑planned community built by Genesis Land Development. The neighbourhood centers on six kilometres of meandering canals and walking paths, giving residents easy routes for biking, jogging and family walks.
The homes range from single‑family bungalows to larger townhomes, with price tags from the mid‑$500 k range up to $1.1 million. The community’s proximity to schools, shopping and the airport makes it a solid pick for families who need easy access to city amenities. Details come from the developer’s page.
Melcor Developments , Cobblestone Creek & Lanark Landing (Airdrie)
Melcor’s Cobblestone Creek offers townhomes starting in the mid‑$400 k range. The community is built around extensive pathways and sport courts for pickleball, tennis and basketball, giving active buyers plenty of ways to stay fit close to home.
Lanark Landing, also by Melcor, adds detached homes to the mix and expands the amenity list with multi‑use trails, a skate‑friendly pond and a bike‑pump track. Both sites are within a short drive of downtown Airdrie and have easy highway links to Calgary.

The development will feature a variety of home types such as front‑drive garage homes, laned homes and townhomes, with pricing starting at an affordable level.
Qualico emphasizes family‑friendly design, noting that nearby Chinook Winds Regional Park offers playgrounds, skate parks and seasonal festivals that draw neighbours together.
Quick Comparison of Featured New‑Construction Communities
Average amenities per community
The average community lists more than 60 amenities, though most list around a dozen. This gap shows that a few large master‑planned sites inflate the average, while smaller neighbourhoods keep things simple.

Start by ranking what matters most: price, commute time, or family amenities. Then compare each community’s home‑type mix against your checklist. Finally, talk to a local broker , DreamHouse Realty can walk you through the fine print and help you lock in any builder incentives before they disappear.
