Varsity Acres NW Calgary MLS® Listings

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

Varsity Acres is the oldest section of Calgary's broader Varsity community, laid out in the 1960s on a plateau north of the Bow River valley. Unlike the Radburn-style pedestrian pathways found elsewhere in Varsity, Varsity Acres follows a more conventional pattern of folded grid streets, rear lanes and the occasional cul-de-sac, typical of early-1960s Calgary subdivisions. The community is home to Varsity Acres School, a public French immersion elementary, with F.E. Osborne Junior High and Marion Carson Elementary nearby on Varsity Drive NW, and St. Vincent de Paul serving Catholic families. Bike paths connect north to Nose Hill and south to the Bow River valley. Housing is dominated by original single-family bungalows and split-levels on mature, treed lots, with a growing number of infill rebuilds as the area ages. Varsity Acres suits buyers who want an established, centrally located NW community with easy access to Crowchild Trail and Market Mall, without the premium price tag of Varsity Estates.
