About Varsity

Varsity is the NW community where many University of Calgary professors, doctors, and long-term Calgary professionals raised their families — and many of them still live there. Built primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, Varsity has a mature streetscape, generous lot sizes, and a consistent reputation as one of NW Calgary's best-rated overall communities.

Housing is predominantly mid-century two-storey homes and bungalows on generous lots (often 60-70' fronts), with a meaningful share of modernized renovations and a growing infill segment along the commercial corridor. Walk-up condos and townhomes near Market Mall add density to the community's eastern edge.

Varsity Acres School (CBE) handles K-6, with F.E. Osborne School (CBE) covering 7-9 and Sir Winston Churchill High School (CBE) as the public 10-12 — collectively one of the strongest public school catchments in NW Calgary. Market Mall, the U of C, and Foothills Medical Centre are all within a 5-minute drive.

Pricing typically runs $625K original bungalows through $1.3M modern renovations, with the largest custom builds and view homes occasionally crossing $1.6M. Buyer profile skews established families specifically chasing the school catchment, U of C-affiliated households, and downsizers from larger NW homes. The community's Bowmont Park frontage on the Bow River escarpment is a meaningful lifestyle pull. Compare with Brentwood, Dalhousie, and Silver Springs.
