Considered the largest consumer home show in Calgary, this year's Home and Garden Show features 450 home and garden specialists, one of the city's largest indoor gardens, and enough celebrity attractions to attract anyone with a flair for renovations and a passion for redecorating.

News from Broadcast Hill, built by WestCreek Developments and Today's Communities, describes itself as an "exciting new community of condominiums designed for homebuilders that...want it all...near it all...away from it all."

With a vibrant colour scheme, private balconies, well-lit, secure surroundings and a concierge, The Breeze in Airdrie re-defines what's possible in affordable living, with residences averaging between $200,000 and $360,000. The development was designed to fit into its surroundings, enhancing the beauty of the bayside community in Airdrie.

Back in town, in Bridgeland -- one of the original Calgary neighborhoods -- Assured Developments presents Akoya, with 122 suites split between traditional flats, two-storey, street-level city homes and two storey sky lofts. The shining eight-storey glass-and-steel building will overlook Memorial Drive.
