Learn More About McKenzie Towne

McKenzie Towne was developed by Carma developers starting in 2000. It's borders are Deerfoot Trail and 52nd Street to the east and west, and the commercial area of 130th Avenue to the north and highway 22X to the south.

The inspiration for this 'neo-traditional area was a community in Seaside, Florida, where the movie 'The Truman Show' was filmed. Within it's borders are three distinct areas, Inverness, Prestwick, and Elgin.

Bringing European architecture to McKenzie Towne, builders have constructed homes in styles such as Georgian, English Tudor, Victorian, Greek, Italianate, and English arts and crafts. All areas feature homes with large front porches, paved alleys, and rear garages. A good mixture of multi-family townhouses, apartments and adult condos bring a diverse population to the community.

Parks and Water Features

There are two storm water retention ponds that wind through McKenzie Towne, as well as a water park and fountain at Prestwick Common, a three acre park. Pathways and green belts wind through the community, including Promenade Park, with a central band box for functions.
