Chestermere Homes for Sale
Chestermere sits on the eastern edge of Calgary — a lakefront city where every resident is minutes from a 1,000-acre recreational lake. Boating, kayaking, and beach life meet suburban convenience.
About Chestermere Real Estate
Chestermere Lake is the defining feature of this city of 25,000+ residents just east of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway. The lake — nearly 5 km long — offers swimming beaches, powerboating, kayaking, and fishing, and many lakefront homes have private docks. Communities like Westmere, Rainbow Falls, Chelsea, and Kinniburgh wrap around the lake's shores and surrounding greenspaces.
Chestermere offers larger lots, newer homes, and water access at prices that remain significantly more affordable than Calgary lakefront communities. The commute to Calgary's east employment corridor (Stoney Trail, Airport) is 15–20 minutes.
