Thinking about buying in Country Hills? Country Hills is a golf-course community in northwest Calgary, built around the private Country Hills Golf Course. Buyers here find a mix of 1990s–2000s single-family homes, townhomes and apartment condos a few minutes from Beddington Trail and Deerfoot Trail — a family-friendly corner of north Calgary with parks, pathways, and quick access to downtown, the airport, and CrossIron Mills.

Country Hills homes for sale appeal to a wide slice of Calgary buyers: first-time purchasers hunting for value relative to inner-city prices, growing families wanting a yard and a garage, and condo buyers who like low-maintenance living next to one of the city's most scenic golf courses. The community sits in the northwest quadrant of Calgary, north of Beddington Trail NW, in the cluster of north-side neighbourhoods that includes Coventry Hills, Harvest Hills, and Hidden Valley. Built out primarily through the 1990s and 2000s, it's a mature, established community — tree-lined streets, settled infrastructure, and homes that have had time to develop real character.

Country Hills Homes for Sale: Houses, Condos & Townhomes

Walk the streets of Country Hills and you'll see the full spectrum of Calgary residential architecture from the last three decades. The dominant housing stock is the single-family home: two-storey models with double garages, vaulted entries, and good-sized fenced backyards are the norm, with a scattering of bungalows and split-levels on the quieter streets. Buyers who want newer construction will find infill and rebuild activity on select blocks, while estate-style properties near the golf course offer some of the community's largest lots and most premium finishes.

As of mid-October 2026, the community page shows 16 active Country Hills listings with an average list price of about $479K — the current range runs from $289K at the condo end of the market up to $738K for the largest detached homes. Average time on market sits around 43 days, and price per square foot averages $371, keeping Country Hills competitive with neighbouring north-side communities.

Single-Family Houses in Country Hills

Detached homes are the backbone of Country Hills real estate. Most were built in the 1990s, which means generous floor plans, real dining rooms, and basements that often arrive developed or partially finished. Corner-lot properties, walkout basements backing onto green space, and homes with triple-car garages command the top of the community's price range. For buyers comparing value across northwest Calgary, Country Hills tends to deliver more square footage per dollar than newer communities like Evanston or Sage Hill — a meaningful edge for families who need four bedrooms without stretching into inner-city pricing.

Because the community is mature, condition varies from home to home. Some owners have invested in full renovations — quartz kitchens, new furnaces, updated windows — while others offer original-finish homes at prices that leave room in the budget for updates. That's where a sharp buyer's agent earns their fee: reading inspection reports, comparing recent comparable sales, and negotiating credits for the big-ticket items like roofs and mechanical systems.

Country Hills Condos & Apartment-Style Living

Apartment condos in Country Hills give buyers a lower-cost entry into one of Calgary's most convenient north-side communities. Low-rise buildings with secure entry, underground parking, and shared amenities like fitness rooms serve young professionals commuting downtown, downsizers who want to lock the door and travel, and investors drawn to steady north-Calgary rental demand. If you're comparing options across the city, browse Calgary condos for sale to see how Country Hills prices stack up against other quadrants.

Condo buyers should look past the listing photos and into the condo documents: reserve fund health, the building's insurance deductible, and any special assessments on the horizon. Older buildings can carry generous square footage and strong locations, but their fees and upcoming capital projects deserve a careful read before you commit.

Country Hills Townhomes

Townhomes hit the sweet spot in Country Hills — more space and privacy than an apartment, less upkeep than a detached house. The community's townhome complexes offer two-storey layouts with attached garages, open-concept main floors, and private decks or patios. They're a natural fit for first-time buyers, busy professionals, and small families, and they rent well thanks to the community's location. Compare the wider market at Calgary townhomes for sale alongside what's currently listed in the neighbourhood.

When evaluating a townhome, the monthly condo fee is part of the price. Ask what it covers — exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, the reserve fund contribution — and compare fees across complexes before deciding. Well-managed complexes in Country Hills keep fees reasonable and exteriors sharp, which protects your resale value down the road.

Amenities & Location

The Country Hills Golf Course is the community's signature amenity: a private 18-hole course that draws golfers from across the city, with the neighbourhood's streets wrapping around its fairways. You don't need to golf to enjoy the payoff — green views, mature trees, and a quieter feel than the average suburban grid.

Day-to-day life is well covered. Country Hills Village, the shopping centre just south of the community, brings grocery, dining, banking, and services within a few minutes' drive. Nose Creek Pathway and the area's web of neighbourhood pathways make morning walks and bike rides easy, and the community maintains parks, playgrounds, and sports fields that fill up fast on summer weekends. CrossIron Mills — one of Alberta's largest shopping destinations — is a short drive north, and the YMCA and Vivo recreation centres serve the wider north Calgary area.

Schools in Country Hills

Families moving to Country Hills are served by designated schools in the surrounding north Calgary area through both the Calgary Board of Education (public) and the Calgary Catholic School District, with school bus service for students outside walking distance. School designations shift with enrolment and board planning, so the right move before buying is to check the current designated school for any specific address on the board websites — and if a particular school matters to your decision, confirm before you remove conditions. Nearby north-side high schools and French immersion and charter options expand the choices for families willing to bus a little further.

Commute & Access

Location is one of Country Hills' strongest selling points. Country Hills Boulevard NW runs through the community and connects east to Deerfoot Trail, putting downtown Calgary roughly 20–25 minutes away in typical traffic. The Calgary International Airport is about a 15-minute drive — a genuine perk for frequent flyers. Calgary Transit bus routes serve the community with connections to the CTrain network, and the area's arterial roads (Beddington Trail NW, Harvest Hills Boulevard) make getting around the north side straightforward.

If you work in the northeast industrial areas, Airdrie, or at the airport, Country Hills shortens the daily drive noticeably versus communities deeper in the northwest. Remote and hybrid workers get the quiet side of the city without giving up quick access to everything north Calgary offers.
