Living in Belmont, Calgary
Welcome to Belmont—Anthem United’s flagship 280-acre master-planned community in Southwest Calgary. Tucked south of 194th Avenue SW between Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street, Belmont blends contemporary family architectural styles, feature-rich playground networks, and direct proximity to Stoney Trail with future transit-oriented growth along Calgary's Red Line LRT corridor.
A Connected Family Oasis in Calgary's SW Horizon
Launched in 2018 by renowned community developer Anthem United, Belmont was engineered to provide modern families with a balanced, highly connected lifestyle. Positioned directly in the pathway of SW Calgary's southern growth corridor, the community features tree-lined streets, architectural diversity, and interconnected greenway pathways.
At the heart of Belmont lies Mounds Park—a iconic 7-acre central green space featuring custom climbing structures, bike tracks, and open play lawns where neighbors gather organically. The neighborhood street grid prioritizes low-speed traffic, pedestrian safety, and easy access to nearby commercial nodes like Township Shopping Center and Shawnessy.
For commuters and interprovincial buyers, Belmont's strategic location offers rapid connections via Macleod Trail, 210th Avenue SW, and Stoney Trail, while positioning residents to benefit directly from future Red Line C-Train station expansions.

Local Realities to Consider
Active Phase Construction & Transit Timelines: Belmont remains an actively expanding community. Homeowners in newer phases will navigate construction vehicle activity, dust, and temporary road diversions. Additionally, while the future Red Line LRT southern extension is planned along 210th Avenue SW, current public transit relies on feeder bus routes to Somerset-Bridlewood station.
