After being annexed to the City of Calgary in 1975, the community of Beddington was established four years later. As one of the largest communities in Calgary, Beddington is bound to the north by Berkshire Boulevard, to the south by the green strip between 14th Street NW and Centre Street N, to the east by Beddington Trail and to the west by 14 Street. Today, the community includes two shopping centers while also providing residents with easy access to the recreational opportunities available at Nose Hill Park. 

In addition to being located near to recreational activities, those looking for real estate in the community of Beddington can also make use of the active and large community centre. The centre, which is capable of holding up to 400 people within its main hall, features a banquet hall, a preschool, a gym and an after school centre. Outside, the centre features a large field and an ice rink, which is used as a skateboard park during the summer. The community centre also hosts a variety of programs and activities throughout the year, including martial arts, volleyball, soccer, darts, dance, fencing and yoga.

Elementary-aged children who live in the Beddington community may attend the public schools Beddington Heights, Colonel Irvine or Highwood, with Highwood offering a French Immersion program. Beddington Heights is unique in that it focuses only on Kindergarten through 5th grade students, while Colonel focuses solely on 6th grade students. The Catholic schools of St. Bede and St. Pius also serve the Beddington community, with St. Pius offering a French Immersion program. Junior high students may attend the public schools of Colonel Irvine or George P. Vanier, with the latter offering a French Immersion program, or the Catholic schools of St. Helena or Madeleine d'Houet. High school students who live in the Beddington community may attend the public schools of John G. Diefenbaker or William Aberhart, with William Aberhart offering a French Immersion program. Those who prefer the Catholic school may choose to attend Notre Dame.  Show Less...
