Walkability & Transit in Calgary:
Why Buyers Care

When buyers talk about “location, location, location,” they’re not just thinking about the house — they’re also thinking about how easy life feels once they move in. Walkable streets, nearby shops, and quick access to transit make a big difference. Homes near LRT stations or frequent bus routes usually sell faster and hold value better, because convenience never goes out of style.

Communities Already Scoring High

• Beltline, Bridgeland, Sunnyside – These inner-city favourites are walkable, full of local shops, and already have strong LRT and bus access.

• Crowfoot & Scenic Acres – A suburban option that still gets top marks for transit with the Crowfoot Station right there.

• Christie Park & Signal Hill – Families love the quiet feel, with easy access to the West LRT line and bus routes.

Where Transit is Growing

Calgary’s Green Line (Phase 1 is already funded and underway) will bring big changes:

• Ramsay/Inglewood – A heritage area about to get a big boost with its own station.

• 36 Ave. SE, Highfield, and Lynnwood/Millican stations will allow for new bus service in the southeast to provide connections into the LRT.

And looking ahead, the city is studying a Red Line extension south of Somerset-Bridlewood that could serve Legacy, Walden, and Silverado — good news for future resale in these growing communities.

Why This Matters for Resale

• Easy commutes = more buyer demand.

• Walkable amenities like cafés, grocery stores, and schools boost daily convenience.

• Future transit plans can add value, since buyers see what’s coming.

• If you’re buying today, keep an eye on communities where transit is expanding. Not only will your own life be easier, but your home may appeal to even more buyers down the road.
