Martindale Rentals Near Blue Line | Livenvo Rent
Martindale Station is unlike most stops on the Blue Line: built inside a residential area, it has no park-and-ride lot and trains slow to 50 km/h passing through. Established in 1983, a year before neighbouring Taradale, the two communities are reportedly named for a developer's children, Martin and Tara, and Martindale sits between Metis Trail and Falconridge Boulevard.
Martindale was annexed to Calgary in 1961 and established as a community in 1983, one year before its neighbour Taradale. The two share an origin story: both are reportedly named after a developer's children, Martin and Tara. The community is bounded by 80th Avenue NE to the north, Falconridge Boulevard to the east, 64th Avenue NE to the south, and Metis Trail to the west. Martindale Station opened in August 2012 as part of a 2.9-kilometre Blue Line extension from McKnight-Westwinds to Saddletowne, and it's built differently from most Calgary C-Train stations: because it sits within a residential area rather than along a major arterial, it has no park-and-ride lot or bus terminal, and trains slow to 50 km/h through the area for safety. Housing is predominantly low-density, developed through the 1980s and 1990s. Renters benefit from direct Blue Line access without needing a car for a downtown commute, plus proximity to Saddletowne Circle's shops and restaurants and the Genesis Centre's recreation facilities just northeast. For renters who want a walkable LRT connection in an established northeast community, Martindale is one of the more transit-convenient options in the area.
