A New Chapter in Calgary Living 

As Calgary continues to grow, so does the demand for homes that offer luxury, comfort, and community. Semi-estate homes—those that balance affordability and high-end design—are emerging as the new benchmark in upscale suburban living. Nowhere is this trend more evident than in West Grove, a boutique development in the desirable West Springs community. 

Encore West Grove Estates is setting a new standard for semi-estate homes in Calgary’s southwest. With modern architectural styling, premium finishes, and carefully planned neighbourhood design, Encore is attracting families who want more space, better value, and a strong sense of community. 

Why Semi-Estate Homes Are Gaining Popularity in West Springs 

More Than a Home: Semi-Estate Living Explained 

Semi-estate homes are defined by features typically found in luxury homes—like larger lots, upscale interiors, and thoughtful architectural controls—while maintaining price points that are more accessible than full estate properties. For many homebuyers, they offer the best of both worlds: space and style without excess. 

Encore at West Grove Estates builds on this concept with homes that include: 

• Open-concept layouts and high ceilings 
• Attached two-car garages 
• Designer kitchens and spa-inspired bathrooms 
• Energy-efficient materials and construction 

These features create an ideal setting for growing families, professionals, and those upgrading from their first home. 

The West Springs Advantage: Location and Lifestyle 

West Springs is one of Calgary’s most desirable communities, especially for families. Located in the city’s southwest, it offers excellent schools, including Calgary French & International School and Webber Academy, plus access to major roadways like Bow Trail and Stoney Trail. 

Key amenities include: 

• Boutique shopping and dining in West 85th 
• Multiple parks and green spaces 
• Nearby recreation at Westside Recreation Centre 
• Quick access to the Rockies for weekend getaways 

Encore at West Grove Estates enhances this with walkable streetscapes, landscaped boulevards, and parks designed to bring neighbours together. 

Smart Investment in a Stable Calgary Neighbourhood 

Unlike new developments on Calgary’s outskirts, West Grove is part of an established community. That means more predictability in terms of infrastructure, future value, and community engagement. 

• Buyers at Encore benefit from: 
• Stable property values in a mature area 
• Access to top-tier schools 
• Existing retail and service hubs 

A completed, well-integrated neighbourhood plan
