Great communities don’t happen by chance—they’re shaped through thoughtful planning, strategic locations, community connections, and a commitment to the very best amenities that enhance everyday life.
And Chelsea delivers on every level. With exceptional amenities built into the neighbourhood, minutes from Chestermere’s city-wide attractions, and a seamless commute to Calgary, it’s a community designed for convenience, connection, and active living—all with the charm of a small-town vibe.
This purposeful design is what makes Chelsea an award-winning community—and one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in Chestermere and the greater Calgary region.
Laid-Back Lake Lifestyle
When you know, you know.
Chelsea has that rare blend of lake-town charm and big-city convenience—and it just feels just right. From the moment you arrive, there’s an easygoing energy built into every street, pathway, park, and home. It’s relaxed yet lively. Laid-back but never lacking.
Arguably, Chelsea’s best amenity is the lifestyle itself—a true retreat, almost vacation mode, right at home—yet still seamlessly connected to Calgary. Here, you don’t have to choose between lake vibes or city living. You get both.
Live where you can:
- Embrace a lake lifestyle with year-round recreation and lakeside dining minutes away at Chestermere Lake.
- Enjoy small-town ease with big-city access.
- Spend more time together and less time commuting.
- Connect with neighbours in a community designed for families.
- Walk to parks, playgrounds, and future schools.
