Homes For Sale in Fairview

The community of Fairview was first used for homes in the mid 1960s. As Calgary grew outward, the land, which was already being used for many shops and restaurants, was further developed to add thousands of homes here. The community is bordered by Heritage Dr, Macleod Trail, Blackfoot Trail, and Glenmore Trail. Although some of the land has been designated for industrial and commercial use, there are several homes for sale in Fairview

3800 people are living in this community, spread over several hundred homes in the neighbourhood. The predominant choice for residents here is to live in a single-family home. The homes here are still standing from when they were first built. It adds a distinct character to the community, and while the exteriors have remained unchanged, several houses have undergone extreme renovations to modernise and update the interiors. You will also find several apartments in the neighbourhood to offer yet another option for housing here.

Fairview has more than one-fifth of first-generation Canadians living here, and the residents tend to make slightly less than their Calgarian counterparts. The challenge for residents is that only 50% of them hold some form of tertiary degree, limiting their options. But we see a strong number of the population living here gainfully employed in meaningful careers. Many of them choose to commute to work using public transportation, which is incredibly convenient and close. Over half the people living here have remained in their homes for over 5 years and choose to remain in a desirable part of Calgary’s southwest. 

The Fairview Community Association, which is organized and run by locals, has been operating in the community for decades. They have family fun nights, Stampede breakfasts, and community clean-up days to care for their environment. Many of the residents belong to a membership that grants access to the events and gets them a monthly newsletter to learn more about matters that apply directly.
