Living in Huntington Hills: Calgary’s Real Estate Community
If you're looking for a Calgary community that combines affordability, accessibility, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride, then Huntington Hills should absolutely be on your radar.
As a longtime Calgary realtor, I’ve had the privilege of helping many families buy and sell in Huntington Hills—and I can tell you from firsthand experience, it’s one of the city’s most underrated communities. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, investor, or downsizer, Huntington Hills offers a balance of value and lifestyle that’s hard to beat.
Location, Location, Location
Huntington Hills is nestled in Calgary’s northwest quadrant, bordered by major roadways like Centre Street, Deerfoot Trail, and 64th Avenue NW. This makes commuting downtown or across the city a breeze—especially with direct access to public transit and multiple bus routes running straight to the core.
You’re also just minutes from Nose Hill Park, one of the largest urban parks in North America. For dog owners, hikers, cyclists, and anyone who just loves a great sunset, Nose Hill is a local treasure. It’s literally right in your backyard.
A Community for Everyone
One of the things I love about Huntington Hills is its diversity—both in people and in housing options. You’ll find everything here: original 1960s bungalows (many with secondary suites), split-level family homes, townhouses, and low-rise condos. It’s a great area for investors thanks to strong rental demand, and an even better place for growing families who want space without the hefty price tag of inner-city living.
The community is served by multiple public and Catholic schools, including Huntington Hills School, Alex Munro, and St. Henry Elementary. There’s also a strong network of childcare services, making it family-friendly in every sense of the word.
Affordability with Upside
Compared to neighboring communities like Thorncliffe, Beddington, or even Brentwood, Huntington Hills consistently offers better price-per-square-foot value. I often tell clients: if you're looking for a detached home under $600K with a big yard, this is one of the few communities in Calgary where that’s still possible.
And let’s not forget—the northeast section of Huntington Hills feeds into the future Green Line LRT corridor, which could further boost home values over time.
Local Life
The Huntington Hills Community Association is active and well-loved. There’s a skating rink, a fitness center, seniors’ programming, and tons of events that help foster the friendly, small-town vibe people love here.
Plus, you're surrounded by useful amenities: Superstore, Safeway, restaurants, banks, and medical clinics are all close at hand. Whether you’re craving a good pho spot or need a hardware store run, everything is just a few blocks away.
Final Thoughts
Huntington Hills may not have the same flash as newer suburbs or inner-city infills—but that’s exactly its charm. It’s a stable, down-to-earth community full of character, friendly neighbors, and real long-term value.
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just exploring options in Huntington Hills, I’d be happy to show you what’s available. Reach out anytime—whether you’re just browsing or ready to make a move, I’m here to help.
