Live Luxuriously in The Grange

No need to dig a well like on a traditional acreage. The Grange has water piped in and is serviced by a pipe sanitary system. The roads are wide and ditch-free, eliminating the hazards of old country roads.

The developers say it perfectly:

“The Grange provides country living in a natural area, using urban design features and conservation features. It’s country living in an urban setting at its best.”

Eat-in

Gregg’s Mediterranean: Locals are buzzing about delicious food and healthy choices at Sherwood Park’s favourite place to get their Mediterranean food mix. If you eat in, you can try out some fragrant shisha.

Branches: Greenland Greenhouse has a cafe and bistro that would be a hidden gem if it weren’t so popular! Spend the afternoon buying supplies for your garden and then take a seat at Branches for an excellent meal.
