History & Development

Discovery Ridge started as “New Discovery” and was initially planned as a gated community. The area was annexed by Calgary in 1956 but development began much later, in the late 1990s. This later start in development allowed for a more contemporary design and architecture in the homes, which is a notable feature of the area.

Living in Discovery Ridge during winter has the cozy, natural vibe you'd find in mountain towns like Canmore, but with its unique touch. It's like having the wilderness at your doorstep, thanks to Griffith Woods Park which backs onto the Elbow River and is beaming with local wildlife, creating a scenic, calm setting. Imagine the simplicity of mountain life, with snow-covered landscapes and the quiet company of nature, combined with the convenience of city amenities close by. It’s straightforward living where the beauty of a snowy neighborhood meets the charm of wild, outdoor life, all within Calgary’s reach. The entrance into the community should be enough to sell you, if you head straight through the traffic circle and come down the hill, the view of the mountains, with the community and woods painted in the foreground is hard to forget and not want to be apart of. Discovery Ridge's winter transformation into a serene wonderland post-snowfall. Folks in the community tend to slow down on the roads and sidewalks, and the neighborhood, with its usual buzz, just seems to quiet down, everything feels just a bit more laid-back and peaceful. #DiscoveryRidge #CalgaryWinter #SnowyCommunity #NatureLovers #UrbanWilderness #calgarycommunities #westcalgary #calgarynature #calgarywinterstorm #calgaryweather #natureincalgary Song: Youtube Audio Library + AI Vocals
