Preserving the natural beauty of the area, Wentworth Estates offers the pleasures of a lush country environment with the convenience of living near downtown. And with lot sizes from 60 to 100 feet wide, there is certainly plenty of space to unwind.

According to Pat Lothrop, marketing co-ordinator for Dundee Developments, the best features about the two communities are their location, the availability of large lots and the established community they are part of.
Located at the west end of Bow Trail adjacent to 85th Street, Wentworth and Westpark boast loads of potential to complete the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. West of 85th Street on 9th Avenue is Wentworth Estates and east along 9th Avenue is Westpark.

Elegant multi-million-dollar homes blend with the landscape, their exteriors gleaming with beautiful stone finishes, dramatically pitched gables, decorative garage doors and exposed aggregate or patterned driveways. The uniqueness of Wentworth is in the details, including hints of English Tudor and the use of steep gables and earth tones.

The show home parade in Wentworth Estates is definitely worth the visit, featuring five builders—Beattie Homes, Newcastle Homes, Morrison Homes, Greenboro Homes and Landmark Homes. Westpark is home to three additional show homes by Lifestyle Homes, Homes by Avi and Greenboro Homes.

Outside is a nature lovers' paradise. Imagine waking up each morning and taking a walk amongst the beautiful fall leaves and wildflowers that line the various walking paths in the heavily treed ravine.

Imagine watching the birds frolic amongst the cattails that surround the ponds located in the area. Since environmental reserves make up more than 28 per cent of Wentworth, your backyard is likely to become Mother Nature’s playground.

The rundle stone and iron wall with driveway gates provide a sense of arrival along the half-acre lots on 9th Avenue at the entrance of Wentworth Estates.

“We did everything we could to maintain the trees and keep them for everybody to enjoy,” says Lothrop. “You can use a lot of imagination when you have this much space to design your dream home with these fine Calgary builders.”

Westpark and Wentworth Estates each offer 100 lots up to one-half acre in size and are unparalleled when it comes to unique architectural features.
On the east side of 85th Street, Westpark has just completed a tennis court sheltered by a grove of 60-foot trees and also features a four-acre pond with a cascading waterfall, along with a playground for children. Many walkout lots are still available with west backyards overlooking the pond.

Aside from its natural beauty, the west side of Calgary offers some of the best private and public schools, shopping and recreation in the city.

Canada Olympic Park, Edworthy Park, Killarney Pool and the Westside Recreation Centre are just a few of the nearby facilities, while Strathcona Square, West Market Square, Westbrook and West Hills are just a short drive or bike trip away. A Calgary Co-op grocery store and neighbourhood shopping centre is now open, providing all your neighbourhood needs directly adjacent to Wentworth Estates.

Recent nearby additions on the academic front include an assortment of private schools, such as Calgary Waldorf School and Webber Academy, along with a variety of Christian private schools. A brand-new Catholic elementary and junior high school is opening just blocks from Westpark and the Calgary Board of Education recently announced plans to build an elementary school in Wentworth to be open by 2010.

With lots more than half sold in Westpark and Wentworth Estates, you need to get there early to get your own piece of paradise in southwest Calgary. NL
