SOMERSET COMMUNITY
Somerset Community (Calgary): transit-friendly, parks-focused living in the south
Somerset is a well-established south Calgary community designed around open spaces, linear parks, and a strong pathway network. It’s a practical choice for families and commuters who want easy access to daily amenities, quick routes out of the city, and nearby nature—without giving up C-Train convenience.
Amenities in and around Somerset
• Somerset–Bridlewood C-Train station nearby for straightforward commuting and park-and-ride access.
• Somerset Waterpark (seasonal) and Somerset Town Square-style park amenities (playgrounds, courts, open green space).
• Pathways and parks woven through the community, built for walking, biking, and family routines.
• Major shopping, restaurants, and services close by in the Shawnessy retail district. (General area feature; varies by exact location.)
Connected community
Somerset is positioned for easy day-to-day movement—C-Train access for downtown and quick connections to major roadways for drivers. It’s one of the reasons the area remains popular with buyers who want “convenience first” without living in a dense urban setting.
Parks, pathways, and outdoor lifestyle
One of Somerset’s best features is its walkability: green corridors, playgrounds, and pathway loops make it easy to get outside year-round. You’re also close to Fish Creek Provincial Park for longer walks, bike rides, and weekend time outdoors (short drive depending on where you are in the community).
Community garden (Somerset–Bridlewood)
The Somerset–Bridlewood Community Garden was established in 2010 and is located near the Somerset C-Train corridor. It offers seasonal raised-bed plots for community association members (plot counts/fees can change year to year).
Schools
Somerset does have an in-community public school option—Somerset School (CBE).
Other public, Catholic, and program options (including French) are available in the broader area, and designation depends on the specific address—always confirm during your home search.
Homes and housing styles
Somerset offers a mix of detached homes and multi-family options (townhomes/condos in pockets), appealing to first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers who want transit access and established amenities already in place.
