Linden Woods: Community, Comfort, and a Whole Lot of Green
Linden Woods is more than a neighbourhood, it’s a community built for families who want room to breathe, green spaces to explore, and a calm, grounded way of life without sacrificing convenience. Winding streets lined with mature trees lead to a central lake and parks where kids ride bikes, friends walk dogs, and mornings start with coffee before school runs. Whether you're bundling up for a winter stroll around the lake or looking for a safe, peaceful place for your family to grow, Linden Woods welcomes you with open arms.
Linden Woods 101
-
Linden Woods was designed with family life in mind — tranquil streets, spacious homes, and a thoughtful layout built around nature. The neighbourhood features a man-made lake, lush parks, and over 63 acres of green space woven into the community.
More than just pretty surroundings, Linden Woods offers practical perks: dedicated schools, easy access to shopping and services along Kenaston Boulevard and nearby retail hubs, and a commute to downtown or on‑campus post‑secondary institutions that generally stays under 25‑30 minutes.
In short: it’s a neighbourhood where you get calm, safety, space, and all the things you need day‑to‑day, without the city chaos.
-
Parks, Lakes & Trails: Linden Woods is built around a network of walking paths, lakes, and interconnected parks like Van Walleghem, Muys, and Kleysen — perfect for a family stroll, summer bike ride, or scenic winter walk.
Community Centre & Winter Festival: The Linden Woods Community Centre is a hub year‑round. In winter, it hosts a fun Winter Festival with skating, cross‑country ski trails, a bonfire, marshmallow roasting and hot chocolate.
Nearby Amenities & Shopping: For whatever you need (groceries, home goods, big‑box stores) Linden Woods is close to major shopping zones (Kenaston Common, Outlet Mall, etc.), while still offering that quiet suburban feel.
Family‑Friendly Living: With calm, curving streets (less traffic stress), lots of green space, and strong community feel, it’s one of those rare neighbourhoods where kids can safely bike around and neighbours actually know each other.

Linden Woods itself tends toward the residential and family‑oriented side, so for more options you’ll often head a few minutes out — but that’s part of the relaxed suburban charm. Places nearby or easily reachable offer meal variety, groceries, and take‑out convenience. As the neighbourhood continues evolving, local amenities and services stay within reach, making mornings, school drop‑offs, and dinner runs easy for busy families.
-
Community Spirit & Events: The neighbourhood regularly pulls together around community‑centre events, seasonal markets, and local celebrations. It’s a place where people know their neighbours — and actually look out for each other.
Low‑key, Peaceful Vibes: Linden Woods offers a relaxed pace with low crime and quiet streets — ideal for families, retirees, or anyone who wants space and calm.
Real Estate That Makes Sense: Homes here tend to sit on generous lots, with larger-than-average yard space and family‑friendly layouts. That makes Linden Woods not just a place to live, but a place to grow with room for kids (or pets, or gardens, or whatever your life needs).
Easy Access, Modest Commute: You’re close enough to city amenities, schools, post‑secondaries, and shopping, while still tucked away in your own green, calm bubble just a short drive (or bus ride) from downtown.
