Is Copperfield a good place to live?
Yes, especially for first time buyers and families who want a newer southeast home without a lake community's fees. Copperfield has schools, ponds and parks close by, and quick access to Stoney Trail, South Trail Crossing and Seton.
Why people like it
- Public and Catholic schools nearby, including Copperfield School (K to 5) and St. Isabella (K to 9)
- Ponds, pathways, playgrounds, tennis courts and a skating rink
- Mostly detached homes built in the 2000s and early 2010s, plus townhouses and condos
- Stoney Trail, Deerfoot Trail and 52 Street SE are close, with shopping at South Trail Crossing and Seton
Things to weigh
- No lake or beach club of its own (Mahogany's lake is for Mahogany residents)
- Most people drive, and the Green Line stations nearby are still in the future
- Many homes are now 10 to 20 years old, so a good inspection of the roof, furnace and hot water tank matters
