Willow Park
There's a trend that we've noticed, and maybe you've seen it too. People tend to assume that newer is better. We all do it, assigning more value to newer books, movies, and gadgets. But we've noticed that home buyers tend to do this as well.
They stray towards the newer communities in Calgary automatically, assuming they're better, but in doing so, they pass over some real gems like Willow Park. This community might be older, but it has some real perks and benefits that you would miss if you didn't take a closer look.
So set behind one of the busiest sections of South Calgary is a quiet tucked away neighbourhood that deserves some attention. Seeing as the neighbourhood was established over 50 years ago, you won't see the modern designs that you would in a newer community setting.
