Chelsea will grow into a welcoming community of approximately 2,080 homes for families to enjoy.

We’re excited to bring our vision for Chelsea to life, with completion expected by 2031.

There’s something for everyone! Chelsea offers a variety of home styles built by award-winning builders, so you can find the perfect home for your family.

Chelsea is set to welcome several new schools in the coming years. A Future Public High School (Grades 10–12) is planned south of Merganser Drive and is currently funded for planning. A Future Catholic K–9 School, located on West Lakeview Drive, has received funding for construction and may open as early as September 2028. Additionally, a Future Public K–9 School is planned for the Dawson’s Landing area on West Lakeview Drive, and another Future Public School is in the works south of Chelsea Road — both are funded for planning. For the latest updates, residents are encouraged to visit the official websites of Rocky View Schools, Calgary Catholic School District and the Government of Alberta.

In Chelsea, the spaces outside your home matter just as much as the spaces inside. Nature exists throughout the community, starting with nearly 15 acres of environmental reserve, including a five-acre wetland complex. Residents can explore the area via an almost five km long regional pathway network. Looking for parks? We’ve got plenty, including over nine acres of new park space and nearly 28 acres of playfields across all three school sites.

The off-leash area at John Peak Memorial Park is just a six-minute drive from Chelsea. There’s even a designated beach area to swim and cool off in the dog days of summer.

At Chelsea, play is important! With each new phase of the community, more parks, pathways and green spaces will be completed for everyone to enjoy. Right now, a network of pathways, including Pioneer Trail, winds past our Eco Park, around the storm pond and several playgrounds and playfields designed for kids of all ages.

You won’t have to go far for everyday essentials. About 10 acres of commercial space will be developed along Chestermere Blvd, and smaller shops and services will be available right in Chelsea, making it easy to get what you need close to home.

No way! Lake and beach access are free of charge – summer and winter – and there are no cumbersome HOA or lake fees to worry about. Boaters: see below.

Residents of Chestermere who want to use their boat on the lake are required to purchase a season pass which can be easily reactivated in subsequent years. All pass holders will receive information about preventing invasive species, a boat safety courtesy check along with a Lake safety map and contact information for the boat launch, CPOs and RCMP. For more information about the boat launch please visit the City’s website.

Living in Chelsea, you are close to multiple shopping hubs close by in Chestermere and Calgary.

No Frills is located five minutes away in Rainbow Falls, complete with a gas station and other shops and services. Chestermere Station is Chestermere’s largest shopping hub with a Safeway, Boston Pizza, Starbucks and many other shops and services conveniently located down Chestermere Boulevard five minutes away by car. Just a six minute drive west on Highway 1A is East Hills Shopping Centre where you will find big box stores like Walmart, Costco, Marshalls, PetSmart and other popular retailers.

Anthem, the developer, does not plant trees on private property. However, Chelsea is part of the Complete Streets initiative, where trees are planted in the road right of way along each street.

The road right of way (or boulevard) adjacent to your property is land that is actually owned by the City, and maintained by you. The City uses this land for snow stock piling, road maintenance or other items as required.

See the next question for more details.

Complete Streets is an initiative designed to enhance residential streets with added colour, shade and natural protection by planting and caring for trees along public roads.

Anthem, and then afterward the City of Chestermere, will maintain these trees but the grass below them is up to you, so plan for some extra passes with the mower every now and then.

As the community developer, Anthem is responsible for providing the maintenance and care of all common areas and community infrastructure for two years after construction is completed. This includes maintaining the park, playfields and playgrounds, pathways, sidewalks, streets and boulevards. Seasonal maintenance includes regular street sweeping and snow clearance from collector roads when snowfall events exceed 5cm. Once the two-year maintenance period is complete, maintenance is turned over to the City of Chestermere. If you’re unsure who’s responsible for a specific area, or if something needs attention, contact calgary@anthemproperties.com to talk to our Anthem team or call 403‑207‑2807 to connect with the City.
