Find Your Dream Home in BRIDLEWOOD

Somerset and Bridlewood are two communities located in the southwest corner of Calgary. Development in the area began in the 1990s, and both communities were designed with an emphasis on open spaces for use as school sites, community recreation areas, and linear parks. The communities are connected by a network of pathways and are home to natural wetlands, such as the Bridlewood Creek Wetland, which features a diverse range of birds, flora, and fauna.

The communities are serviced by major transportation routes such as Marquis of Lorne Trail and Macleod Trail, with plans for an LRT extension in the future. The area also has a nearby shopping center in Shawnessey. The Somerset and Bridlewood community association currently lacks a community center but remains active in programming, utilizing the historic Shawnessey Barn for community dances and events. The community also has a strong relationship with nearby Spruce Meadows, which is often used for special events such as Canada Day celebrations.

Amenities in the area include the South Fish Creek recreation center which offers a variety of recreational opportunities, baseball diamonds, and a waterpark. The community association works to address issues such as traffic concerns and is a member of the South Fish Creek Transportation Action Committee. Schools in the area include Bridlewood Public Schools, Bridlewood Separate Schools, and Bridlewood French Immersion Schools, all operated by the Calgary Board of Education.
