Varsity is one of the Best Areas of Calgary to Live in!

Varsity is a popular northwest community in Calgary to live in, so much in fact that it has been named as the #1 Calgary Neighbourhood by Avenue Magazine in 2012!

Built in the 60’s and 70’s on a plateau north of the Bow River valley, Varsity’s location gives residents quick access to some amazing outdoor recreational areas such as Bowmont Park and also provides many of its ridge homes with fantastic views.

But that’s not all that makes this neighbourhood one of the best areas of Calgary to live in. Varsity also has ample access to a plethora of nearby amenities including Northland Mall, Market Mall and even has its own central strip mall with names like Peking Garden, Planet Organic and Matador’s Pizza & Steakhouse.

Almost all residences in Varsity are single-family homes built on wide lots. Over the years many home owners have chosen to renovate their homes to some degree, while others have completely redeveloped theirs.

Varsity Amenities

Playground and Park in Varsity

One of the best things about Varsity is how much variety of amenities and services are found very close to the neighbourhood.

Not only do residents have to drive only a few minutes to reach Market Mall and Northland Mall, but they also have a very useful central shopping centre located on Shaganappi Trail with a gas station, organic grocery store, professional health building, coffee shop, restaurants, various retailers and more.

For those who might not drive, Varsity is a perfect community to live in, with several bus stops throughout the neighbourhood and various routes going every which way.

Brentwood LRT and bus station is only a 5 to 35 minute walk depending on where in Varsity, although there are bus routes that shorten this time considerably.

And let’s not forget about the tons of parks and interconnecting pathways in the community. Even a walk to the Bow River is no more than a half hour and it’s easy to get there by following the pathway system!

With all that has been said and more, it’s no wonder Varsity is one of the best areas of Calgary to live in where many families tend to stay for the long term.

Another undeniably attractive feature of Varsity is that many of its schools are located within the community itself. They are part of the relaxing, family oriented ambiance Varsity is known for!

Welcome to this lovingly maintained four-level split in the established community of Varsity, offering 3+1 Bedrooms. A great family home, proudly owned by the original owner (first time on the market), it has been well cared for inside and out, with a functional layout and a south-facing, gardener-ready backyard. Located in a quiet Crescent and across from a small Park, walking distance to Brentwood C-train station, and close to U of C. Step inside and you’ll appreciate the functional layout: the main level features a spacious Living Room with big windows bathing the space in natural light, flowing into the Dining Room and a well-sized Kitchen with an eating area that leads directly to the backyard. The upper level offers three Bedrooms and a full Bath, ideal for everyday family living. On the 3rd level you’ll find a large Family Room (currently used as a Bedroom, with closet space), another Bedroom and a Den—flexible space to suit your needs. The lowest level is built for recreation and utility: a spacious Recreation Room with a wood-burning fireplace (now fitted with an electric insert for ease), a workshop room with sink, 3-piece Bath, laundry area—and note, there is no PolyB piping. Outside is where this home truly shines. The large south-facing backyard is fully landscaped and a gardener’s delight, featuring raspberry bushes, strawberry patches, a rose garden, and a variety of other fruits, herbs, and flowering plants—all lovingly tended. A patio invites casual gatherings, and the expansive yard leads to a heated detached single garage with back-lane access, which can also be used as a workshop, making it convenient and private. Updates include a roof replacement in 2022/23, fence renewed in 2025, and fresh exterior paint in 2024—proof of attention to maintenance and care. Located in Varsity, this home enjoys all the benefits of a mature and well-established community: tree-lined streets, green pathways, and park spaces. It’s just minutes from schools, shopping, transit, and the C-Train, with quick access to the University of Calgary, making it ideal for families and students alike. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-kept, functional home with a standout outdoor oasis in one of Calgary’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
