University Heights NW Calgary MLS® Listings

Houses, Condos and Real Estate For Sale by Calgary REALTORS®.  

University Heights is a small, established northwest Calgary community that developed in the early 1960s alongside the University of Calgary campus next door, bounded by 24 Avenue NW, University Drive NW, 16 Avenue NW (the Trans-Canada Highway) and Shaganappi Trail NW. At just under a square kilometre, it's one of Calgary's most compact communities, and more than 60 percent of its housing stock is condominiums or apartments rather than single-family homes, reflecting steady infill near the campus. Its location puts residents within walking distance of the University of Calgary, McMahon Stadium, Foothills Medical Centre and Alberta Children's Hospital. University Elementary School serves younger students, while Westmount Charter School's grades 5 to 12 campus sits on Uxbridge Drive NW within the community. Crowchild Trail gives quick access downtown. University Heights suits students, university staff, hospital workers and investors drawn to walkability and proximity to major institutions rather than buyers looking for a typical single-family subdivision.
