Housing in Calgary

Housing in Calgary

Great cities are places where everyone can afford to live and work. Housing and housing affordability are foundational to position our communities as inclusive and vibrant, placing Calgary on the map as one of the most livable cities in the world.

To keep pace with very high population growth, Calgary needs to increase and diversify housing options in all communities so Calgarians can find homes that meet their lifestyle, budget, and neighbourhood preferences.
