Hotchkiss

Still taking shape on Calgary's southeast edge, Hotchkiss is a neighborhood of fresh asphalt and new builds where showhomes still line the main boulevard and construction is part of the daily rhythm. The nearest grocery run lands at the Sobeys in McKenzie Towne or the Calgary Co-op Auburn Bay Food Centre over in Auburn Bay — neither far, and the drive becomes routine quickly. For weekends outdoors, residents often head north to New Brighton, where New Brighton Athletic Park and the New Brighton Skatepark are the go-to for afternoon hours.
