In a bid to try something revolutionary in Calgary, the McKenzie Towne community was a master-planned project from the very beginning. Every aspect of the community was designed by developers to suit a theme. The theme is a small town and everywhere you see aspects that contribute to that feeling. Spacious roads, picket fences, and a central town hall make this feel as you belong in a small community rather than a big city. The community is evenly divided into sections that feel different with alternative architectural styles that complement each other. Prestwick, High Street, Elgin, and Inverness are micro-communities within the big neighbourhood. The borders of McKenzie Towne are 130th Ave SE, Deerfoot Trail, Highway 22X, and 52nd St SE.
The population of McKenzie Towne is 17,000+ residents, many of whom live in single-family homes here. In fact, the number one choice of housing is the detached house, but that is closely followed by several thousand apartments, townhouses, and duplexes as well. This marks a distinct difference to the neighbouring community of McKenzie Lake. There are 16% immigrants living here, representing a healthy balance of Canadians and other nationalities. The community attracts affluent residents, many of whom make more than the average household elsewhere in the city. We see a large number of families living here, with a more mature household well represented as well. The community is centred around a common these of recently moving here, with the vast majority of the community moving within the last 5-10 years. The community has a good number of well-educated residents, with over 90% of the population having a degree or diploma from tertiary education. Â Â Â
The McKenzie Towne Community helps to preserve the feel of the small town within the neighbourhood. They help regulate and monitor the housing here to conform to the standards set out by the developers. The association also creates bonds between neighbours with several other events and programs held throughout the year. This includes coordination with other communities as well as “in-house” events targeting the members of McKenzie Towne.

Many residents love to use Bow River for fishing, some of the best fly fishing found in North America is right here in this river.
