🌅 Sundance – Lakeside Living with All the Everyday Conveniences
Nestled in South Calgary, Alberta, Sundance is one of the city’s most cherished established communities. Developed in the early 1980s, it blends mature, tree-lined streets with lakeside recreation, convenient access to amenities and strong family-friendly appeal.
