The prospect of finding a more affordable place to build your dream home in the Highway 2 corridor between Edmonton and Calgary recently improved in the community of Didsbury.
A developer there is now offering single-family lots in the range of $58,000 (including GST), down from around $95,600.
The lots are in what's known as Phase 4 of the Valarosa Crossing subdivision, a six-phase project being developed by Terra Sar Developments.
Didsbury, which has grown to a population of more than 4,000, is situated just west of Highway 2 about 40 minutes north of Calgary International Airport. It's the first community north of Airdrie, Calgary's largest source of commuters.
Didsbury has been rated in the past as one of Alberta's top-five growth communities, an honour the town trumpets on its web page.
