Lake
Bonavista & Lake Bonaventure
Located
in Calgary's SE |
| The
communities of Lake Bonavista, Lake Bonaventure were
developed in the late 1970s during the last "boom" and
are the real estate jewels in Calgary. In a city where open water
is rate, developers built these two artificial lakes, built
recreational facilities into them and around them, and opened
these facilities up for the area's residents. The proven success
of these communities in both the initial and the resale markets
paved the way for other such developments, further south in Sundance
and in the northwest in Arbour
Lake. Access to the Deerfoot Trail from the community makes
downtown and the city's airport quickly accessible. |
|
| Schools: |
| The
area is mature and has elementary and junior high schools for both
school boards. High school students, though have a short commute
to the nearest schools. There is a public library (shaped like a
pyramid) to the east of Southcentre Mall. The LRT makes the
University of Calgary, SAIT and ACAD very accessible. |

| Shopping: |
| The
small Lake Bonavista shopping Centre provides most shopping
amenities, and Macleod Trail provides a number of "category
killer" big box stores to meet almost every need. The upscale
Avenida Mall is on Macleod Trail, the more budget-minded Deer
Valley Mall is on Bow Bottom Trail, and Southcentre, the largest
mall in the area is just north of Anderson Rd. |
|
| Recreation: |
| The
area's recreation is very much focused on the two lakes (and
homeowners pay recreation fees to the community association based
on their proximity to the lakes). Just north of Anderson Road is
the Family Leisure Centre, a fully-equipped recreational facility
which also includes a wave pool. North of Anderson are two golf
clubs, Willow Park and Maple Ridge. There are several cinemas
along MacLeod Trail including Canyon Meadows, Southland (note:
Southcentre's cinema recently closed) and the new Famous Players
Coliseum just south of Fish Creek.
