If you want condo living in Airdrie and still want to stay active, this one's worth a serious look.

A lot of condos in this price range trade location for affordability. This one doesn't. #1318 at 604 East Lake Boulevard NE is less than a minute's walk from Genesis Place Recreation Centre — one of the best rec facilities in Alberta, with a full pool, fitness centre, NHL-sized arena, walking track, and more. East Lake Regional Park is right there too. If fitness or outdoor time is part of your daily routine, you won't need a car to access either of them.

At $290,000, that's a hard combination to beat.

The Specs

Here's what the unit includes:

• Bedrooms: 2

• Bathrooms: 2

• Size: 998 sq ft

• Parking: 2 underground stalls

• Unit type: Corner unit

• Balcony: Oversized

• Price: $290,000

The two underground parking stalls are a significant value add at this price point. Most Airdrie condos under $300,000 come with one stall — or none. Two means one for your vehicle and one for a guest, a partner, or a second car without the headache of fighting for surface spots.

Being a corner unit also matters more than it might seem at first glance. Corner units typically get more natural light, better cross-ventilation, and a noticeably quieter experience than interior units sandwiched between neighbours on both sides. You're only sharing walls on one or two sides instead of three.

The oversized balcony extends your usable square footage for most of the year in Airdrie — and with Genesis Place and the park right below, you've got something worth stepping outside for.

The Location — East Lake, Northeast Airdrie

East Lake is a well-established community in northeast Airdrie. It's not a new development on the edge of town waiting for amenities — it has mature trees, full infrastructure, and proximity to most of the services you'd actually use week to week.

A few highlights of the area:

• Genesis Place Rec Centre — literally steps away. Pool, fitness, ice, walking track, classes

• East Lake Regional Park — walking and running paths, open green space year-round

• Grocery stores, restaurants, and retail within a short drive

• Easy access to Highway 2 for anyone commuting to Calgary

• Established neighbourhood feel — not a construction zone

For buyers who are tired of seeing new communities advertised as “complete” when the nearest coffee shop is still a gravel lot — East Lake is the opposite. Everything's there.

Who Is This Property For?

First-time buyers looking to get into Airdrie's market without overextending. At $290,000, this is one of the most accessible price points in the city right now — and you're not sacrificing quality of life to get there. Genesis Place as your backyard is a serious perk.

Downsizers ready to let go of lawn maintenance and exterior upkeep without giving up an active lifestyle. When a world-class rec facility is 30 seconds from your door, you're trading a yard for something better.

Investors looking for a well-located Airdrie rental property. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two parking stalls, and a prime recreation-adjacent location makes this a practical combination that appeals to a wide range of tenants.

If you want to compare what your budget gets you in a detached format, this 1,900 sq ft bi-level in Big Springs with a double attached garage is a good reference point — different price, different lifestyle, but a useful benchmark for what the gap between $290k and $480k looks like in Airdrie right now.

The Numbers in Context

Airdrie's detached market starts well above $400,000 for most buyers right now. The low $500s gets you a solid detached starter home — but if budget is a real constraint and you're open to condo living, $290,000 with this location, this configuration, and these features represents meaningful value.

Two underground parking stalls, a corner unit, an oversized balcony, and a 30-second walk to one of Alberta's top recreation facilities — all in a fully developed northeast Airdrie neighbourhood. At this price point, there's not much to argue with.
