McKenzie Lake Homes for Sale

McKenzie Lake Real Estate Information

McKenzie Lake is a stunning community located on the east side of the tranquil Bow River. Originally founded in 1882 by one of the area's first settlers, J. McKenzie, this area quickly rose in popularity with the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway just a couple of years later. With many more settlers arriving in the following years due to the prime farmland and convenient access roads, the McKenzie Lake area only continued to grow until Calgary annexed it in the 1970's. A short 12 years later, in 1982, McKenzie Lake residential development began and has created what is now one of the most affluent communities in all of Southeast Calgary.

Homes in McKenzie Lake

Today it's easy to see McKenzie Lake's historical roots in the agricultural land that surrounds it in such a picturesque manner. However, with updated architecture used in the designs of the impressive homes within it, it's easy to see that this community has adapted to the evolving tastes of home buyers keeping demand high and home values elevated in McKenzie Lake. While there are modest single-family homes for sale that can be found along the tree-lined streets, there are also gorgeous multi-million dollar estates as well as condos and gated luxury homes in McKenzie Lake may appeal to all types of buyers.

Many of these properties offer waterfront views of the incredible lake, which looks just as beautiful in the winter as it does the summer. However, for homes that aren't next to the lake, owners still enjoy sweeping views of the well-designed landscaping. This natural beauty has made McKenzie Lake a real treasure where home buyers with varying budgets can find just what they’re looking for.

McKenzie Lake Outdoor Activities

Perhaps one of the most popular recreational attractions in McKenzie Lake is the lake itself! This human-made treasure is by far one of the biggest draws of homeowners in the area, in particular for those who desire a waterfront view right from their lawns. This private lake is right in the centre of the community and has been designed with a gorgeous island-style setting. With the elegant multi-million dollar estate homes surrounding the ridge that overlooks the lake, the view from the beach is simply unforgettable.

McKenzie Lake Amenities and Highlights

McKenzie Lake has much to offer residents beyond the sparkling human-made lake. There are also numerous recreational facilities where adults and children alike can enjoy activities throughout the year. Spacious tennis courts, a sparkling skating rink, green soccer fields, and well-designed basketball courts are just a few of these amenities that residents utilize all year round.

To keep the neighbourhood engaged as a whole, the community association regularly hosts many events at the on-site recreational facilities. These are designed to encourage fun and learning while creating a stronger sense of community for all residents.

While the sports classes and activities are among the most popular, there are also yoga classes for adults, scouting guides, summer camps, and babysitting/home alone courses available for families.

Community members who need a rental space can enjoy using the McKenzie Lake Community Centre as they need it, as it's available for rent throughout the year and can hold a large number of people.

To accommodate the many families that reside within the community, there are many public and private schools in proximity. For those who have children a bit younger, there are daycare centres located nearby as well. While the kids are in class, adults can enjoy leisurely escapes to the golf courses that are located close to the neighbourhood as well.

Shopping around McKenzie Lake is incredibly easy, as the nearby communities boast numerous shopping centres that take just minutes to get to. In these centres, visitors can find grocery stores, banks, cafes, and many other retail stores.
