Lake Bonavista - Renovated Home For Sale in Calgary's Most Popular Lake Community

Lake Bonavista is arguably one of Calgary’s most desirable communities. With its private lake access, mature tree-lined streets, and oversized lots, it offers a lifestyle that new suburbs simply cannot replicate.

However, many of the homes here were built in the 1970s. While they have "good bones," the original layouts often feature closed-off kitchens, sunken living rooms, and mechanical systems that are nearing the end of their lifespan.

In 2025, we are seeing a distinct shift in buyer behavior: the premium for renovated, move-in-ready homes is higher than ever. Here is why buying a renovated home in Lake Bonavista is often the smarter financial and lifestyle play.

1. Financial Certainty in a Volatile World

The allure of a "fixer-upper"…

Now Open 2019! Bonavista Downs Community Disc Golf Course

Opened in June 2019, the Bonavista Downs Community Disc Golf Course is Calgary's newest "9 holes, 9 baskets" disc golf course. This course is located on Lake Huron Crescent SE at the Bow Bottom Baseball Fields in Bonavista Downs at the intersections of Anderson Trail, Deerfoot Trail and Bow Bottom Trail. 

Bonavista's is a free walk-on course and you're able to use your Frisbee or Ultimate Frisbee but disc golf is generally played with a set of discs which, like golf clubs, all have a different purpose. At a minimum, you'd want to have a driver, a mid-range, and a putter (you likely won't lose track of your discs at this smaller course but most players carry extras of each disc). Golf discs are rated by their speed, glide, fade & turn abilities with…
