The southwest Calgary community of Wentworth’s charm is watching the children gather and walk, scoot, and ride to and from their schools with their friends.

By Mario Toneguzzi


The local schools - West Springs School, West Ridge School and St. Joan of Arc School - give the neighbourhood a young and vibrant feel.

And the vibrancy is carried through as well on the busy 85th Street corridor from Bow Trail at one end to Old Banff Coach Road to the other.

For me the charm of Wentworth is watching the kids gather and walk/scoot/ride to and from school among friends. The local schools have created a strong community culture.” – David Pellettier, RE/MAX Real Estate (Central)

Wentworth is a small estate style community that is one of the city’s youngest new communities situated within the larger West Springs area on the western side of the city.

The 85th Street corridor provides easy access for residents to a number of amenities from big grocery stores to shops and services to a good selection of dining establishments.

Along that popular strip are some unique establishments including the popular Mercato West, the family owned market and eatery offering Italian dishes and pastas in an open market format. It’s become a gathering place for the community to shop for groceries, pick up some food for dinner, have a coffee or simply stay and dine in at its restaurant.

One of the benefits of living in the Wentworth neighbourhood is its transportation network. It’s an easy and simple community to get in and out of at any time of day with the major roads Bow Trail, 85th Street and Old Banff Coach Road. Whether it’s heading downtown or heading west to the mountains, the roadways provide residents of the neighbourhood the ability to navigate their journeys with ease.

Wentworth, by Dream Unlimited, began in 2003 with the aim to complement the beauty of the land with homes that adhere to higher architectural requirements. Tree coverage was left in the natural ravines, and where possible, on some lots. 

It is an active community that takes advantage of outdoor places such as tennis courts and playgrounds. But the gem is the two natural wetlands within the community adding to its aesthetics and providing residents with a beautiful and peaceful natural setting where a variety of plants grow and where one can experience different wildlife on any given day.

We have lived on the west side of Calgary for almost 30 years and Wentworth is my favourite community.   We have always  loved walking our dogs along the treed paths and you can’t beat all the great restaurants in our neighbourhood… Mercato, Fergus & Bix, The Vin Room and 722 World Bier Haus

Insights from David.

CREB reports a shifting market                        

Across the city CREB has described a market which varies widely from one community to another, and from one property type to another. An example would be the Condo/Apartment market where sales are reporting at -30% year to date while inventory is up +50%, pricing has stabilized but is showing softness in the most recent reporting periods. The Detached market is reporting at -11% year todate while inventory has risen at +54%, and prices continue to show modest appreciation at +2.3%. On the Westside, community to community, we are seeing a variation in the balance of supply and demand. Here in Wentworth, where volumes are limited, and there are no homes currently for sale at this writing, prices continue to appreciate. This remains a favourable sellers market.
