The Top Neighbourhoods to Buy a Home in Calgary

If you are in the market for Calgary real estate, you might be overwhelmed with the many options out there. Once you have narrowed down your budget and know what kind of property you want to buy, it becomes easier to begin your home search. Finding a neighbourhood that suits your lifestyle, commute, and daily needs is critical to your home search. We asked one of our REALTORS®, Eve Dejeet, which neighbourhoods she has noticed are becoming the most popular to buy a home in Calgary. Here are the five different Calgary neighbourhoods she has had her clients express interest in over the last year!

Crescent Heights

Ranking 3rd overall in Avenue Calgary’s “Best Neighbourhoods of 2020,” Crescent Heights has remained popular over the last three years. The neighbourhood has an eclectic mix of properties, ranging from character homes to million-dollar homes to low-rise multi-family apartments. Picture-esque streets are lined with canopy trees and beautiful views of the city.

Mahogany

Do you love the unique modern architecture combined with the earthy beauty of lake living? Mohagany homes have the unique distinction of having the best of both worlds and more. A private beach club, a 63-acre freshwater lake, parks, open spaces and an urban village for shopping and dining. Mahogany is a great place to raise your family and put down roots. Between its excellent location, easily accessible from Deetfoot Trail and minutes from the South Health Campus. Whatever your reason for choosing the city’s premier lake lifestyle, there’s something for everyone in Mahogany: winner of Calgary’s Alberta’s and Canada’s Community of the Year.

Inglewood

Calgary neighbourhood

Known as the oldest and (arguably) coolest Calgary neighbourhood, Inglewood is a hit for anyone who likes to be near local shops, restaurants, breweries, cafes, historic buildings, and the downtown core. Residents of Inglewood can enjoy a walkable and bike-friendly neighbourhood with a junction of the Bow River and Elbow River. The community primarily offers single-family homes and condos.

Bankview

A charming Calgary neighbourhood in the city that has remained a favourite, Bankview is one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods. Tucked behind 14th Street is a collection of townhouses, infills, older homes, condos, single-family properties, and high-density apartments. Bankview is a well-established neighbourhood with parks and greenspaces to enjoy year-round.

Sherwood

One of the newer communities in Northwest Calgary, Sherwood is home to beautiful views of the countryside, trails, greenspaces, and ravines. Tucked into Symon’s Valley region, this award-winning community is close to major highways, making your commute efficient. Sherwood contains condos, townhomes, single-family homes, and duplexes, so there is something for everyone in this Calgary neighbourhood.
