Housing is relatively affordable compared to downtown Calgary, with options for both ownership and rental. It is also convenient access to shopping centers(CF Market Mall), schools (University of Calgary), parks, and recreational facilities. By car, downtown Calgary is about 15–20 minutes away via Crowchild Trail; by public transit, the Brentwood LRT station provides a 25–30 minute ride to downtown. Nearby medical facilities include Brentwood Medical Clinic, Foothills Medical Centre (a major hospital about 10 minutes by car), and several local pharmacies and healthcare services.
