Varsity Homes for Sale & Real Estate – Calgary

Varsity Housing Market

Established in the late 1960s, Varsity is one of Calgary’s most mature and sought-after northwest communities. Its housing market is diverse, offering everything from classic bungalow-style homes to multi-level split houses and modern infill developments to high-rise condos, like the Groves of Varsity. One of Varsity’s unique draws is its extensive selection of ravine walk-out properties, which offer residents direct access to green spaces, natural ravines, and breathtaking views right from their backyards. Varsity Estates is home to luxury single-family properties typically worth $750,000 to $2 million or more. The community also has more affordable properties, including condos under $200,000 and townhomes in the $300,000 range.

The diversity of homes for sale in Varsity makes it accessible to a wide range of buyers, including young professionals, empty nesters, and families. Many owners choose to renovate and modernize their homes inside and out over the years, while preserving their property's original charm. The neighbourhood’s proximity to major amenities, green spaces, and downtown contributes to strong property values and consistent demand within the Calgary real estate market.
