Ideal for first time home buyers not quite ready to step into the Red Deer market, Blackfalds is a cozy and affordable place to call home. Friendly, inviting and family-oriented, the community of Blackfalds is stoked with community spirit that young people are immediately drawn to. 26-30 year olds make up the largest demographic in Blackfalds, and the younger spirit permeates the community's culture.

Knowing your neighbours is central to Blackfalds life, and each subdivision provides public greenspaces for people of all ages to gather and get to know each other. A variety of recreational programs are offered throughout the year by the town or through local community groups.
