Scenic Acres

The neighborhood of Scenic Acres was first established in the northwest quadrant of the city in 1981. This beautiful community can be found south of Crowchild Trail, northwest of Nose Hill Drive, and to the east of Stoney Trail. Primarily consisting of higher income residents, Scenic Acres has built up a population since their inception of nearly 9,000 that now call it home. The properties are all single family detached homes with less than 3% used for renting. More recently, the Crowfoot Station or formerly known as Centennial Station was opened to serve the Scenic Acres neighborhood as well as the Crowfoot Business Centre. Those that live within the borders of the community are set within the natural beauty found in Calgary’s northwest, a certain charm that can’t be found elsewhere in the city.

Public school students attend the neighbourhood’s own Scenic Acres elementary followed by Arbour Lake junior high, Robert Thirsk senior high, and Bowness senior high. Catholic school students attend Monsignor E. L. Doyle elementary, St. Vincent junior high, and St. Francis senior high school.
