Home to a great deal of permanent residents due to its convenient proximity to Elizabeth Rummel Elementary school, the Elk Run off-leash dog park, and many small specialty shops and cafes, the Avens/Canyon Close section of Canmore is an ideal location for families.
Located just east of Cougar Creek, the neighbourhood projects a similar feel to that area. While specializing in assorted styles and sizes of single-family homes (with larger than average backyards), several duplexes and condominiums can still be found here, affording plentiful layout options to anyone looking to settle down in the northeast part of the valley.
