Our Perspective

How we see Boardwalk Retirement Community

Boardwalk Properties are cultivating a reputation for excellence with this and other projects in Alberta. Feel confident that they'll continue to grow this into a superb place to live. Award winning renovations elsewhere in the city have turned buildings into luxurious destinations that have blown away tenants’ expectations.

Boardwalk Retirement Community entered a new phase of life in 2018. Renovations there led to it winning the 2018 Calgary Residential Rental Association’s (CRRA) Award for 2018 Best Renovation of the Year. This bodes well for 55-plus Calgarians looking for apartments with flair.

Standout features of this building include the fireplace lounge, where people gather to chat or check out what’s on the big screen. There are also spectacular views of northern Calgary from the many apartments with private balconies. The support staff here is professional and driven. People are enthusiastic about the recreation and social activities available.

Insider Perspectives

Reviews of Boardwalk Retirement Community

What residents and their loved ones say about Boardwalk Retirement Community in reviews.

Annette Thon, family member

"When it was that time of life change for our parents; we visited Boardwalk, and since that original date with Roland- my parents have embraced the change with no hesitation. Roland had given and still gives our whole family the thoughtfulness as he did that original day! We are so blessed that this is the choice that was made ….. We look forward to a long journey here! "

C. Chan, family member

"Our mother continues to have a wonderful experience at Boardwalk Retirement Community in Calgary since moving here several years ago. She has made many friends and there is genuinely a sense of community. We feel great that she has contemporaries who provide a sense of belonging. Aside from the other residents, I cannot say enough about the staff. Everyone from the dining room team to the cleaning team know her name and always greet her warmly. She has expressed many times how great they are. We..."

Catherine Fisher, resident

"About six months ago I had to move fairly quickly and was looking for a new home. I was delighted when, after visiting, touring the building, and sharing a meal with other residents, I was offered an opportunity to live here. Fitting within my budget, the team at BRC has been wonderful. From the meals to the light housekeeping, and all of the other amenities, I am grateful. I have not missed my old place since moving to this, my new and hopefully forever home. "
