Living in The Hamptons, Calgary
Established in 1990 in Calgary’s prime Northwest quadrant, The Hamptons is one of the city's most prestigious, master-planned, and topographically commanding golf course communities. Bounded by Stoney Trail NW to the north, Sarcee Trail NW to the east, Country Hills Boulevard NW to the south, and Shaganappi Trail NW / Edgemont to the west, The Hamptons pairs generous 50 to 70+ foot wide lot footprints and rolling fairway views with The Hamptons School (K-4), Tom Baines Middle School, Sir Winston Churchill High School catchment, an active HOA, and an effortless 18-minute commute to Downtown Calgary.
An Executive Golf Sanctuary Merging Rolling Fairways with Academic Excellence
The Hamptons covers an expansive 3.5-square-kilometer master-planned geography in Calgary's NW quadrant. Built around the private 18-hole championship layout of The Hamptons Golf Club, the neighborhood's interior streetscape features low-density, tree-canopied crescents and quiet cul-de-sacs engineered to minimize high-speed pass-through traffic.
Life in The Hamptons centers on outdoor wellness, golf course views, and exceptional family education. Children walk safely to The Hamptons School (K-4) along central greenway paths, while families gather at the community tennis/pickleball courts, soccer fields, and volunteer-maintained winter ice rinks.
Flanked by Shaganappi Trail, Sarcee Trail, and Stoney Trail NW, commuting into Calgary's corporate financial core, the University of Calgary, or Foothills Medical Centre takes under 20 minutes, making The Hamptons a premier destination for executives, medical professionals, growing families, and interprovincial relocators.

Local Realities to Consider
1990s Mechanical Audits & Fairway Irrigation Considerations: Homes in The Hamptons built between 1990 and 2002 feature solid 2x6 timber framing, poured concrete basements, and clay tile or high-grade roof shingles. However, original non-renovated properties require capital planning for furnace/boiler upgrades, hot water tanks, and polybutylene (Poly-B) plumbing checks in mid-90s builds. Furthermore, properties situated directly along golf course fairways should have window impact glass and irrigation runoff drainage verified, while homes near Country Hills Boulevard feature sound-attenuation fencing.
