The name Taza comes from the Dené language of the Tsuut’ina Nation and means “something wondrous is coming.” Stand in the community today and you can feel it: homes are taking shape, moving trucks are pulling in, and one of the newest communities near Calgary is becoming a real neighbourhood one family at a time.
Taza Park sits in Tsuut’ina Nation where Tsuut’ina Trail meets Glenmore Trail, just over ten minutes from downtown Calgary, yet backing directly onto some of the city’s best-loved green space. For anyone searching for new homes near Calgary SW, it’s a rare combination: brand-new townhomes and villas wrapped in established nature rather than raw, treeless acreage waiting to be built.
So, who is choosing to live here, and what made them say yes? We asked the first Taza Park homeowners to tell us in their own words. Among them: a growing young family, a mother and son planting roots side by side, longtime Calgarians right-sizing after 30 years, and a professional with deep ties to the Nation.
A Community Rooted in Place
Taza Park is a 470-acre village, part of the larger 1,200-acre Taza development created through a partnership between the Tsuut’ina Nation and Canderel. It is one of the largest First Nation developments in North America, and it is designed to do more than deliver houses. It weaves together homes, shops, restaurants, parks, and pathways so that daily life, nature, and culture sit side by side.
For buyers, that translates into a rare combination: brand-new homes with quick access to the Rocky Mountains, and a location wrapped in established nature rather than raw acreage waiting to be built. You can explore the Taza Park community, browse the parks, pathways, and amenities, and read more about the culture and history of the Tsuut’ina Nation that shapes every corner of the community.

Aurora by Homes by Avi: Semi-Detached Townhomes for Growing Families
Bordering Weaselhead Flats Park and North Glenmore Park, Aurora by Homes by Avi pairs contemporary design with everyday practicality. These are homes built to flex as life changes, which makes them a natural fit for young families who need room to grow.
Aurora at a glance
- Semi-detached townhomes, roughly 1,480 to 1,620 sq ft
- Three-bedroom layouts with private rear yards
- Double detached garage options
- Optional legal basement suites for a rental income stream or extra living space
That flexibility is exactly what caught the attention of Jesse Fortier and Moira Whitworth. As a young family juggling work and raising their daughter, they wanted a home that could keep up with them. The third bedroom became a dedicated home office, and the unfinished basement turned into a blank canvas for future projects and hobbies they have not even dreamed up yet.
The location sealed the decision. With Weaselhead Flats, the Glenmore Reservoir, and nearby wetlands on the doorstep, the couple can be in the trees within minutes without giving up the convenience of the city.
For Jesse, a member of Fort McKay First Nation, living in Tsuut’ina Nation carries a deeper meaning too. He and Moira were drawn to a community that honours Indigenous partnership while keeping their family close, and family is very close indeed.
Juniper Ridge Villas by Crystal Creek Homes: Luxury Villas Connected to Nature
Perched on the ridge above Weaselhead Flats and the Elbow River, Juniper Ridge Villas by Crystal Creek Homes are villas near Weaselhead built for a quieter, lower-maintenance chapter, without trading down on space or finish. West-facing lots frame long sunset views over the treeline, and open, single-level-friendly layouts mean less time on upkeep and more time on the deck. For downsizers and empty-nesters who still want room to host, it’s the kind of home that simplifies daily life while keeping all the good parts.
Juniper Ridge at a glance
- Two floor plans to choose from: the Sage and the Fern
- Roughly 1,111 to more than 2,500 sq ft
- Open-concept layouts with optional lofts and walkout basements
- Secondary suite options and premium ridge lots
- Seamless indoor and outdoor living for every stage of life
Like her son Jesse, Holly Fortier was drawn to Taza Park by its roots in Tsuut’ina Nation. Her new villa keeps her close to family and puts nature one step off the deck. It strikes the balance of connection, convenience, and an active lifestyle she was after.
Sandy Sykes and her husband were turning a page of their own. After more than 30 years in the family home, they wanted somewhere easier to maintain but still generous: beautifully finished, open, and ready for a houseful of guests. For Sandy, where the villa sits mattered as much as the floor plan: a home beside green space, with a walking path at the door.
Rhythm by Brookfield Residential: Modern, Low-Maintenance Townhomes
Rhythm Townhomes by Brookfield Residential brings modern, low-maintenance townhomes in Tsuut’ina Nation to buyers who want their home to keep up, not slow them down.

It’s a natural fit for professionals, first-time buyers, and anyone who’d rather spend a weekend in the mountains than behind a lawnmower.

Bright interiors, flexible layouts, and a central location caught Jennifer’s eye right away. The functional design suits a busy schedule and hands her back time for what matters most: her work, her fitness, and the people she loves.
Jennifer’s connection to Tsuut’ina Nation started long before she signed, through her work in the community. Understanding the vision behind Taza Park made the decision feel even more personal, and she is genuinely excited to watch the neighbourhood fill in as new parks, shops, restaurants, and gathering places open.
