Banff Trail Real Estate & Community

Established in the 1910s, today you’ll find a diverse array of Banff Trail homes for sale in Calgary at any given time. From post-war bungalows to brand new infills, the area really has a lot to offer when shopping around for an attached, detached, or row-style inner city property.

New infill homes in Banff Trail are typically priced between the $700,000 to $1 million range while older bungalows usually come in around the half-million mark. What all these properties share is walkability to the nearby C-Train Station, University and Confederation Park to name a few examples.

Raising a family in this community is convenient, with more time spent making memories and less time stuck in traffic.
