Overview
Anderson Place is the established condominium complex at 11620 Elbow Drive SW in Canyon Meadows. City records date the four-storey brick-and-wood-frame buildings to 1977, while listing records describe approximately 135 homes across the address.
The building history is dominated by functional one- and two-bedroom plans, assigned surface parking and a comparatively simple amenity program. At this age, corporation maintenance and reserve planning are more important than a generic finishes checklist.

Architecture & development
Anderson Place uses the straightforward late-1970s walk-up form: red brick elevations, stacked balconies, central glazed entrances and surface parking distributed between low-rise buildings. Mature trees and landscaping soften the large site.
Unit-number prefixes can correspond to different building sections. Buyers should confirm the exact entrance, legal unit, parking assignment and corporation plan before treating another Anderson Place sale as identical.
Homes & layouts
Reviewed records commonly span approximately 720-785 sq ft, with one- and two-bedroom plans, separate dining areas, balconies and generous in-home storage. Laundry is shared in the complex rather than uniformly in-suite.
Floor and direction shape light, noise and privacy. Compare balcony condition, window exposure, bedroom size, storage, laundry route and renovation quality for the exact home.
Amenities
Anderson Place focuses on practical shared features: visitor parking, common laundry, landscaped grounds, interior circulation and waste or bicycle areas. It is not a full-service tower with concierge or extensive recreation rooms.
The lighter amenity program can simplify operations, but owners still share responsibility for multiple roofs, exterior walls, balconies, entries, paving, drainage and mechanical systems.
Parking & mobility
Assigned surface parking is typical, with stall location and number varying by home. Confirm the assignment schedule, electrical access, visitor supply, winter maintenance and any bicycle-storage rules.
Anderson Station is approximately 884 metres away in a straight line. Buses on Elbow Drive and the Red Line make transit practical, while Macleod Trail and Anderson Road support driving.
Transit & location
Canyon Meadows Shopping Centre and neighbourhood services are nearby, with Southcentre Mall, Avenida Food Hall, schools, recreation and Fish Creek Park available across the broader south-Calgary area.
The actual walk to Anderson Station involves the local street network and major-road crossings. Buyers should test the door-to-platform route rather than equating straight-line distance with travel time.
Anderson Place is near Anderson Station, Canyon Meadows Shopping Centre, schools, parks, bus routes and the larger Southcentre and Avenida service area.
Neighbourhood context
Canyon Meadows is an established southwest community of detached homes, townhouses, apartments, schools and mature park spaces near Fish Creek. Anderson Place provides one of its larger condominium concentrations.
Homes may face Elbow Drive, surface parking, internal landscaping or neighbouring buildings. Exact building position and exposure are central to privacy and noise comparisons.
Construction & systems
Wood framing, brick cladding, windows, balconies and low-slope or pitched roof assemblies form the residential buildings. Shared systems include heating, domestic water, drainage, electrical distribution, fire protection and common laundry equipment.
Review reserve studies and engineering history for roofs, masonry, balconies, windows, piping, heating, electrical, paving and drainage. Insurance claims, water losses and completed projects explain the real condition of a 1977 corporation.
Buying here
Confirm the exact building section, floor, exposure, balcony, parking assignment, storage and laundry route. Read the condominium plan, bylaws, reserve study, budget, insurance and minutes together, paying particular attention to completed and funded capital work.
Anderson Place can suit buyers seeking a practical south-Calgary home near transit. A clear maintenance history and stable forward plan should carry more weight than cosmetic renovation alone.
Selling here
Use authentic Anderson Place exterior and entrance photography, then explain the exact building section, floor, balcony, parking and storage. Clearly identify shared laundry and utility inclusions.
Comparable sales should start within the same Anderson Place building section, then adjust for floor, exposure, size, renovation and parking before using other Canyon Meadows or Somerset low-rises.
