Lanark Landing is a great place to live for those looking to buy a home in Airdrie.
For one thing, the community, located near King’s Heights on the east side of the city, is slated for a new K-8 school at the corner of Lanarkshire Drive and Lanark Boulevard.
“Rocky View County has identified Lanark Landing as a future school site. They currently have ten [sites] identified, with Lanark Landing being top of priority,” says Erin Cripps, sales and marketing co-ordinator with Melcor Developments. “We are working together with Rocky View County on timelines and expectations.”
One of the neighbourhood’s best features is its community garden, which is fully up and running for its first season this year. The garden is maintained by the Airdrie Horticultural Society and provides an opportunity for residents to grow their own food.
The popular garden is home to 19 plots that are currently occupied by individuals and families in Lanark Landing. The plots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and those wanting one can put their name on a waiting list. The garden also features a designated learning garden, rhubarb planter and herb garden, as well as annual, perennial and native Alberta flowers.
Lanark Landing has plenty of green spaces, orchid trees, playgrounds, a half basketball court and pump track for bikes and scooters, as well as outdoor gathering spaces with picnic tables and walking paths. It’s also located within walking distance of an outdoor skating rink.
“Lanark Landing in Airdrie is a community that’s connected to it all,” says Cripps. “With great access to downtown Calgary, the Rocky Mountains, the airport and great schools — find everything you need in this brand-new neighbourhood.”
The Melcor Developments community boasts a variety of homes from builders such as Homes by Avi, McKee Homes, Douglas Homes, Sterling Homes and Castellano Homes. It was established in 2019 and includes triplex, single-family front-drive homes, single-family laned homes, duplex front-drive homes, duplex laned and green street homes.
There is also a tree program offered in Lanark Landing, where homeowners new to the community can choose a new tree for their property.
“We’ve partnered with Branched Out Nursery to provide you with a beautiful tree for your home. Branched Out Nursery will deliver, plant and fertilize the selected tree,” says Laura Gerbrecht, office administrator at Melcor Developments. “Whether you’re downsizing, excited about getting into your first place or you’re ready to move up, we have the perfect home for you.”
