The residential community of Chaparral in the southeast quadrant of Calgary has come a long way since its establishment in 1995. Since then, the area has grown to become an extremely sought-after location for those looking to buy a home in Calgary near the water. Located on the Bow River, Chaparral is one of the few neighbourhoods in Calgary that can also boast a substantial lake to supplement recreational activities for residents. Chaparral real estate is bordered by the Marquis de Lorne Trail to the north, by 194 Avenue to the south and by Macleod Trail to the east.
