Imagine living in a community where there are an abundance of amenities practically on your doorstep—a neighbourhood that offers not only panoramic views of the majestic Rockies, but also the means to easily leave the city and be enjoying the crisp mountain air in about an hour. Now imagine the community you live in includes classic design and architecture with modern living and the comforts and a maintenance-free lifestyle. If you can imagine all this, you can envision Red Haus by Streetside Development Corporation. 

Red Haus is a four-storey condominium community comprised of four buildings, surrounded by pathways and incorporating an elegant courtyard, the Club Haus exercise area and a unique bocce ball court. With an aesthetically pleasing exterior to complement the beautiful landscaping, Red Haus offers attractive brick accents and concrete roof tiles, stylish balconies and patios and even a clock-tower feature. Although this picturesque community is notable for its charming architecture and design, its location is also a great selling-feature. The northwest community of Royal Oak offers a neighbourhood where residents can enjoy outdoor activities year round, and where much of the environmentally sensitive areas have been preserved for present and future enjoyment. 

The Royal Oak ravine has been preserved, and some of the natural wetlands have been retained as storm-water features. The area has an abundance of green space; with an environmental reserve and an extensive pathway system of its own that not only meanders throughout the community, but also joins up with the city’s pathways as well. 

Of course if residents want a more rugged outdoor experience, the Rockies are just a short drive away. Royal Oak is north of Crowchild Trail and about one kilometre west of Stoney Trail. Those wanting to visit the mountains can easily set out from Crowchild Trail which turns into Highway 1A, but soon there will also be road access directly to Stoney Trail which will connect the community to the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Canada Olympic Park. There are few communities in Calgary that can offer such easy access to hiking, biking or skiing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Red Haus is not only close to many outdoor amenities, but there is also a fabulous shopping mall right across from this great community. 

On the other side of Country Hills Boulevard is the Royal Oak Shopping Centre that offers a wide variety of retailers including a Wal-Mart, London Drugs, Home Outfitters, a Sobey’s grocery store and lots more. Additionally the new Royal Oak Audi retail outlet is situated just east of the mall and is quickly becoming Calgary’s newest auto mall. Offering all these great community features, Red Haus is generating a lot of interest, with the project receiving the Best Design under 799 square-feet, and the Multi-Family Community of the Year in this year’s SAM Awards. 

Once you see these attractive apartment-style condos you’ll know why they won these prestigious awards. Buyers can choose from a variety of one- and two-bedroom floor plans, ranging from 577 to 1,155 square-feet, and with prices starting as low as $199,900 these units are very affordable. Each unique floor plan caters to a different lifestyle, but every home offers an attractive open-concept design, a fantastic five-piece Bosch and Whirlpool appliance package and a variety of warm maple cabinetry styles to choose from for kitchen and bathroom. In addition to the fashionable fixtures and hardware throughout, all window coverings are also included and owners can choose from six different colour pallets when designing their living space. Other great features include the gas barbecue hook-ups on every patio and balcony, the underground heated parking, and the availability of optional storage lockers to help minimize clutter in your new home.
