Community boundaries · City of Calgary

The Somerset-Bridlewood Station is what most people know first — a cross-town bus route threads through here, and the LRT puts the rest of the city within reach on a weekday morning. Off the platform, Somerset settles into a quiet residential pace: Somerset School serves the elementary crowd, and the surrounding streets have the lived-in feel of a community where people have been long enough to know their neighbours by name.

Come summer, Somerset Spray Park becomes the neighbourhood's gathering point — kids from surrounding blocks converge on the water features while parents catch up nearby. After a season or two, you start recognizing the same faces.
