Sage Meadows is a community in Calgary’s northwest quadrant, being developed by Genesis Land. With nature in mind at the heart of this neighbourhood’s design, there are parks, green spaces, ponds and wetlands in the area that help celebrate that laid-back country feeling. And with the community situated on the northern edge of Symons Valley Road, Sage Meadow’s convenient location ensures you’re never too far from the modern amenities of the big city.
