Varsity Village NW Calgary MLS® Listings

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

Varsity Village makes up the late-1960s to early-1970s section of Calgary's Varsity community, developed by Carma Developers using the Radburn Plan, a design that favours cul-de-sacs and pedestrian pathways connecting to parks behind the houses rather than a standard grid. Market Mall, one of northwest Calgary's largest regional shopping centres, sits within Varsity Village, along with the University of Calgary Research Park at the community's eastern edge. That combination of shopping, research offices and the nearby university campus makes Varsity Village more commercially connected than the other Varsity sub-areas. F.E. Osborne Junior High and Marion Carson Elementary serve the community from Varsity Drive NW, with St. Vincent de Paul serving Catholic families. Housing is a mix of original single-family homes from the Radburn-era build-out along with newer infill and low-rise condos near Market Mall. Varsity Village suits buyers who want walkable access to shopping, research park employers and the university without leaving a residential, pathway-connected neighbourhood.

Frequently Asked Questions About Varsity Village

What is the Radburn Plan and how does it show up in Varsity Village?

Carma Developers used it when building out Varsity Village in the late 1960s and early 1970s, so many homes back onto green pathways rather than lanes.

Is Market Mall in Varsity Village?

Yes. Market Mall, one of northwest Calgary's largest regional shopping centres, sits within Varsity Village, along with the University of Calgary Research Park at the community's eastern edge.

What schools serve Varsity Village?
