The honest trade-offs

No neighbourhood is perfect. Here is what to weigh before you commit to Cornerstone — the things a straight-shooting agent tells you up front.

• •Cornerstone has no LRT service today, and the planned Green Line station serving this area is currently unfunded with no confirmed build date, so getting downtown means driving or using one of the community's two bus routes.
• •No schools have opened in Cornerstone yet, so children are currently bused to schools in other communities, with the local elementary, middle, and high schools not targeted to open until 2029-2030.
• •The community is bordered by Stoney Trail to the north and sits just west of Deerfoot Trail, Alberta's busiest highway, which means easy freeway access but also traffic noise for homes nearest those corridors.
• •The commercial core is still being built out: a large-format grocery anchor only recently arrived at Highstreet at Cornerstone, and the larger activity centre with most of the planned retail is still a future phase.
• •As a new build, you'll pay 5% GST on top of the purchase price, and the City will send a separate supplementary tax bill covering the months you occupy the newly completed home that year — costs a resale buyer typically avoids.
