Banff Trail Homes for Sale

Banff Trail Real Estate Information

Banff Trail has the distinction of being one of the oldest community associations in Calgary. After being settled in 1910, it was annexed to Calgary in 1952.

Being bounded by Crowchild Trail NW to the west, the Trans-Canada Highway to the south, 19 St NW to the east, and 24 St NW to the north, it's easy to see why people moved here soon after. In fact, it's immediately to the east of the University of Calgary, making it an easy choice for anyone who wants to be close to all that this area has to offer.
