No neighbourhood is perfect. Here is what to weigh before you commit to Falconridge — the things a straight-shooting agent tells you up front.
•Falconridge has no C-Train station within its boundaries, so most residents take a feeder bus to the adjacent McKnight-Westwinds station, from which the ride to the downtown core is roughly 19 minutes.
•Most Falconridge homes were built in the early-to-mid 1980s, which falls within the era when polybutylene (Poly-B) plumbing was common in Calgary, so budget to have it checked at inspection and plan for possible re-piping.
•The community's entire southern edge is McKnight Boulevard, a major six-lane arterial, and homes near that perimeter carry more road and traffic noise than lots in the interior.
•There is no public high school inside Falconridge, so students zoned to the Calgary Board of Education's Nelson Mandela High School in nearby Saddle Ridge (about 3-4 km away) commute or bus out of the community.
•Falconridge is an entry-level market that prices well below the Calgary average, which is a real affordability advantage but also means a lower price ceiling and comparable values than higher-priced west and inner-city quadrants.
Who it’s not for
This neighbourhood is not the right fit for a buyer who wants to walk to an LRT station, big-box grocery, and a zoned high school, and who is prioritizing the appreciation ceiling of Calgary's higher-priced inner-city and west-side communities.
