Vanguard Location & Real Estate

Middle-Unit Floor Plan

Vanguard’s collection of 28 townhouses is arranged across four pods of seven units each, all situated around a central landscaped amenity space that gives the development a courtyard feel – a rare feature for row housing in Calgary.

Each home features three storeys and approximately 1,950 sq. ft., offering two floor plan options, all with a ground-level double-car garage and flex room that can be used as a den, home office, or bedroom. Vanguard townhouse units also offer a private, fenced courtyard, giving residents outdoor space separate from the shared amenity area, perfect for children to play in or for pets to use as they may.

The development is situated along 39th Street NW directly south of the established Varsity Courts townhomes, meaning residents will enjoy a short two-minute walk to the main amenity strip of University Avenue.

Vanguard Community

Map of the University District

University District is a master-planned, 200-acre urban community located directly west of the University of Calgary campus in Northwest Calgary. Its development is overseen by the University of Calgary Properties Group, with a vision for walkable, connected urban living that genuinely delivers on its promises.

When fully built out, the community will be home to approximately 13,000 residents across roughly 7,100 residential units, supported by 300,000 sq. ft. of retail along its vibrant University Avenue main retail streetscape.

Vanguard will be located adjacent to 39 Street NW, just steps from the main amenity strip, which already includes Shoppers Drug Mart, Native Tongues Taqueria, the University District Vet Clinic, Save-on-Foods, and more than 50 restaurants, shops, and services. The University of Calgary campus is right next door and a short walk to the east, while Market Mall and the Bow River pathways and parks are all within walking distance. For professionals working at Foothills Medical Centre or the nearby Alberta Children’s Hospital, this location is practically unbeatable.

The mixed-use neighbourhood has already won national recognition – University District took home the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) Award for Best Growing Community in 2022, and the momentum hasn’t slowed. It’s the kind of community where you genuinely don’t need to get in your car every day. And for a certain type of buyer, that matters a lot.
