Your Escape Is Close At Hand
Nestled next to the stunning Bow River Valley and Fish Creek Park, Cranston is an inspiring backdrop for outdoor lifestyles. Hike, bike, rollerblade or jog along year-round pathways that unwind among acres of lush park space. Relax near the Bow River with a picnic or a fishing rod. Or spend time with the kids in one of the many parks and playgrounds.
A Lifestyle For This Century
Century Hall is your very own private resident's facility complete with a gymnasium, banquet facilities, ice rink, splash park and toboggan run — plus the opening of Cranston Market and two new schools in 2010, Cranston has everything your family needs right in your own backyard.
Naturally Convenient
Every area of the city is easily accessible from Cranston’s location at Highway 22X (Marquis of Lorne Trail). Deerfoot Trail takes you directly downtown or to the Calgary International Airport and puts Foothills Industrial Park within easy reach. Follow Highway 22X west for direct access to Kananaskis Country and the Rocky Mountains, as well as the retail business corridor on Macleod Trail.
In Their Own Words
We could go on about all that Cranston has to offer. But we’d rather you hear it from those who already call this family community home.
-I love living in Cranston because I have great neighbours who look after their properties and keep Cranston looking neat, clean and pretty. I love seeing the windmill when I drive in and being so conveniently situated close to wonderful facilities, like the YMCA and library as well as two major shopping areas. From the people to the surroundings - it is a great place to live. -Penelope
-I love all the wild life I see out my windows! Just yesterday, after it stopped raining, out trotted 2 deer. They stopped gave me a friendly look and down they went. I can see 1, 2 or a herd of deer throughout the year. Awesome! Sometimes, they come right up to my fence. At all times, I'm inside. -Karen
-I love living in Cranston for several reasons. One is that we are so close to the ridge and make use of the pathways often. -Cindy
-One thing I love about Cranston, is the walks down to the river. In the mornings and evenings, I will see deer, coyotes, and other animals. It is nice to have things like that in our back yard in our high paced lives. It gives me a peace and tranquillity without living the city. -Arlen
