“Let’s take a walk.“

That simple phrase can mean many different things. It might mean inviting someone on a bracing hike in the local nature center or a simple stroll around the block. To your dog it could mean an exciting chance to sniff the local lamp posts, while a kid may envision a stop at a favorite playground.

Now, picture yourself living in Timberlands, a unique, walkable neighbourhood on the east side of Red Deer. When you live here, “let’s take a walk” opens a wide range of potential destinations no other neighbourhood offers.

Located on the east side of Red Deer, Timberlands is bordered by 67th Street/Highway 11 on the north and 30th Avenue on the west. It’s a quiet place to live with all the urban amenities you’re looking for right nearby – schools, a public library, playgrounds, coffee shops, restaurants, transit stops, shopping, parks, and trails. When you live in Timberlands, you’re so close to what you need, you’ll find yourself leaving the car in the garage for many errands.
