Evanston Calgary Community Review and Home Search
Evanston is a young suburban neighbourhood in Calgary’s NW quadrant developed by Qualico. Official community establishment was in 2007. Since then the creek-prairie community has seen extensive development with new phases in construction.
Qualico’s design for the community provides maximum living space in a prairie setting that has fewer fenced areas, more open spaces, playgrounds, green spaces and verandahs. These features serve purposefully to bring about more social interaction amongst residents in Evanston.

If you are thinking about building a home in Evanston read this article about why you should use a REALTOR® to build!
Qualico Developments was established during the 1950’s in Winnipeg, Manitoba where it started out as a small sized home building company. Over the next six plus decades Qualico would begin new home projects in western Canadian cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Fort McMurray and Red Deer.
2005 marked the first date that Qualico Developments expanded outside of the country with new projects in Austin, Texas of the United States.
Today Qualico Developments is one of the few fully privatized real-estate companies of its size in existence.
Every year approximately three thousand people appoint Qualico to build their new family home because of the inherent experience from decades of work and quality of product delivered.
Reviews of Qualico give a positive reflection of the company. The Better Business Bureau of Canada has received only a total of 9 complaints with the BBB in the last 3 years, which is not bad considering the average amount of 3000 houses constructed by Qualico each year.
This is not to say that every customer will file a complaint with BBB when a problem arises, but BBB is well known to many residents of Canada.
It is important to note that the Better Business Bureau have authority to investigate and pursue any legal action necessary in response to complaints filed by customers. On a scale from A+ to F, Qualico is rated A-.
