Flood and airport noise⁷

None of Redstone lies inside the City's regulatory flood map.

Part of Redstone sits under the Calgary International Airport noise forecast: NEF 25–30 4% of its land area. NEF 25–30 is noticeable aircraft noise but does not restrict housing. The contours are planning forecasts, not measured noise, so listen at the address at different times of day.

Schools⁸

• No public, Catholic, French-language or charter school is located inside Redstone. From the middle of the community, the nearest elementary school is about 0.9 km away, the nearest junior high 0.9 km and the nearest high school 5.4 km. 2 other elementary schools lie within 2 km.

The school nearest the house may not be the school your child is assigned to. Boards assign a designated school by street address, and a community can be split across several, or have none inside its boundary. The boards don’t publish these attendance areas as open data, only an address lookup: use the CBE Find a School tool (including French Immersion and IB) or contact the Calgary Catholic School District with the exact address before you rent or buy. Capped schools can also place new students elsewhere.

We don’t rate schools: test results are not open data, so a school’s quality is something to ask about on a visit.

LRT access⁹

Redstone is about 4.4 km from the nearest LRT station, Saddletowne (Blue Line). Most people here drive or take a bus to reach the train.
