Inspiring Community Design
This master planned community by Qualico Communities is one to be proud of. The architectural styles of Prairie, French Country, Mid-Century Modern and Contemporary Modern were carefully selected to provide a distinctive and varied streetscape that sets Silverado/Dressage apart from other neighbourhoods within the city.
It’s easy to fall in love with Silverado, as well as the addition of the Villas of Silverado to the landscape. Blending in seamlessly with the community, the Villas is an exclusive enclave of 50 attached bungalows with luxurious finishings and double car attached garages. The exterior design took inspiration from architecture that is prairie and craftsman style. The exteriors are a mix of Hardie Board, stone, covered front entry and cantilevered fronts which create a distinctive elevation.
These low maintenance homes are perfect for the downsizer who value a lock and leave lifestyle but still want the perks of living in a community like Silverado. At the Villas, you can leave all of the maintenance issues behind so you have more time for life. The lock and leave lifestyle is also a favorite for those who like to travel and not worry about the security of their home.
Mature Community
The community of Silverado is in its last phase and with the completion of the Villas will be complete. In fact, the Villas are over 60% sold out so the opportunity to live amongst nature and in this pristine community is fading. Living in a mature community has many advantages such as quick access to major roadways and good connectivity. Silverado is a fast commute to downtown via Calgary’s LRT and Bus Transit System in Shawnessy and provides quick access for leaving the city.
With the recent addition of the ring road, Silverado now enjoys access from three points, Spruce Meadows, 194th Avenue and Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street. This addition has been an added bonus to residents whether its a daily commute, an evening in the city or a day trip to the mountains making Silverado a truly connected community.
Whatever reason you choose, Silverado is a one-of-a-kind community which offers all of the amenities of urban living surrounded by endless, spectacular greenspace. Welcome home!
