Tuscany's beautiful ravine system, all 172 acres of it, offers the perfect slpoes for slow and leisurely mountain biking. Pathways are the perfect setting for uninterrupted hiking and afternoon strolls with gentler trails. Residents also enjoy the added bonus of Twelve Mile Coulee, which winds its way along the community's edge. From here you'll have panoramic views of the Bow River Valley and a spectacular view of downtown Calgary.

Tuscany's real estate market started in 1993 and it hasn't stopped since, with new houses being constructed and new neighbourhoods being established for an increasing population. Named after Italy's beautiful Tuscany region, the community is considered an affluent neighbourhood with home ownership at around 96%.

Tuscany has grasslands and tree/shrubs and are home to many species of animals which, with a little luck, you can still find in Twelve Mile Coulee Road on the west side of Tuscany. Look for Richardson's Ground Squirrels (often incorrectly called gophers) and the mounds of Northern Pocket Gophers (which are true gophers). Watch also for deer, coyotes, porcupines and even the odd Red Fox.

Overhead, you may see birds of prey, including Hawks and Harriers. In the trees there are Nuthatches, Woodpeckers and several species of Warblers and Vireos, and in the grasslands look for native sparrows. Tuscany is full of wildlife including Deer and the occassional Moose.
