NW Calgary Real Estate
Varsity is an established northwest Calgary community, first developed in the 1960s, next to the University of Calgary. It grew in stages: Varsity Acres with its bungalows, Varsity Village in the late 1960s and 1970s, and Varsity Estates in the 1980s.
Market Mall is within walking distance for much of the community, and the Dalhousie and Brentwood CTrain stations are close. Varsity also has schools, parks and easy access to Crowchild Trail.
People tend to stay in Varsity for a long time, so homes come up less often than in newer communities. You'll see original bungalows, updated family homes and condos, often on large lots.
Thomas's Take
Many Varsity homes are 50 or more years old. Some have been fully updated and some still have the original wiring, windows and furnace. Two bungalows on the same street can be a major renovation apart, so a proper inspection matters more here than almost anywhere.

Yes. Varsity sits beside the University of Calgary, which makes it popular with faculty, staff and families with students.
Dalhousie and Brentwood stations on the Red Line are the closest.
You'll find 1960s bungalows, two-storey family homes, newer homes in Varsity Estates and a range of condos.
