Homes in Highwood

Highwood delivers a nostalgic, highly connected lifestyle that effortlessly balances traditional large-yard privacy with rapid front-row access to the city's finest outdoor recreation and retail nodes.

• Massive Lot Profiles & Mid-Century Bones: Built during a design era that prioritized unmatched breathing room, single-family properties in Highwood boast generous frontages and deep setbacks. Quiet, tree-lined crescents showcase classic mid-century bungalows and raised bi-levels featuring expansive private backyards, making the community a primary target for custom contemporary updates, high-end secondary suites, and luxury infill developments.
• The Spectacular Highwood Park & Outdoor Pool: Summer recreation is completely effortless right inside the community boundaries. Highwood is highly unique for hosting its own historic Highwood Outdoor Pool, an incredibly popular neighborhood hub managed by the local community association. Families love walking over on hot afternoons to enjoy public swimming, swimming lessons, and community-wide poolside social mixers.
• The Active Highwood Community Association: Human connection is deeply woven into the local culture. Supported by a passionate local population, the local community association manages a vibrant hall, hosting a highly rated preschool, community soccer leagues, organized neighborhood cleanups, and regular seasonal festivals—such as winter skating parties on the local outdoor ice rinks—that bring neighbours together.
• An Outstanding, Mature Educational Catchment: The single greatest draw for families is the community’s exceptional educational layout. The neighbourhood hosts top-performing public and separate Catholic elementary schools directly within its borders. Safe, winding avenues and dedicated linear path systems allow children to walk to class comfortably entirely separate from major vehicle corridors.
• An Unbeatable 10-Minute Commute Downtown: You can completely eliminate heavy cross-city vehicle gridlock from this location. Strategically framed by major thoroughfares like 4th Street NW, McKnight Boulevard, and John Laurie Boulevard, drivers enjoy a lightning-fast commute straight into Calgary's corporate downtown core, alongside a short 8-minute path to the University of Calgary, SAIT, and the Foothills Medical Centre.
