The southwest community of Bel-Aire is one of Calgary's most luxurious areas. The homes here are immaculate and large to complement their spacious landscapes and decadent architecture. These properties were built around 1960, shortly after the community was annexed in 1954.

The exteriors of these properties demand a glance from visitors who walk by, as they were designed with natural materials and architecture that echoes the influence of master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Each of these is situated around large yards, tree-lined streets, and even indoor/outdoor swimming pools for some homeowners.

Everywhere one looks in the neighbourhood they see something beautiful, whether they are looking at the luxury homes that make up 100% of real estate in Bel-Aire or the stunning views of nature and the city lights around them.

The home prices in Bel-Aire are considered to be some of the most expensive in Calgary. Most properties start at around $1 million and extend far beyond $10 million.

There are also plots of land where homeowners can build their dream properties with the help of some of the best developers in the city. With new construction, resale and building options available, this makes it easier for buyers to find their ideal property without having to sacrifice their desires.

Adding to this overall appeal is the low crime rate and quiet streets, which make this luxurious community a haven for those who want privacy, beauty, and convenience.

Bel-Aire Amenities & Highlights

The location of Bel-Aire is just as wonderful as the beautiful estate homes that are situated within. It's just 6 kilometres away from downtown. Many parts of the community provide residents with unparalleled views of the Glenmore Reservoir, the Rocky Mountains, the Elbow River Valley, and the city skyline right from their properties and outdoor areas. 

Anyone who travels to downtown Calgary for business or pleasure will enjoy Bel-Aire's close proximity to it. There are also many bustling communities nearby, such as Meadowlark Park to the east, Windsor Park to the northeast, and Mayfair to the immediate south.

When it comes to shopping, Macleod Trail is only minutes away and home to a wide variety of shopping malls, big box stores, restaurants, boutiques and more. Chinook Centre, in particular, is only a short drive and home to over 250 stores, entertainment options, and restaurants.

The Pentecostal church called First Assembly can be found within Bel-Aire along Elbow Drive, although there are many others located in neighbouring communities. When it comes to education, there are many schools nearby that serve this neighbourhood.

From Catholic schools to public schools and even programs such as French Immersion, there are many options to choose from. Health care needs can be addressed at the nearby Rockyview General Hospital located on 14 St SW.

Bel-Aire Recreation & Fun

With Bel-Aire being situated on the eastern border of Elbow River and Glenmore Reservoir, recreation here is abundant. The Elbow River Pathway and Glenmore Pathway both provide ample space for exercise while taking in the views of the beautiful water and greenery. Because this pathway is exclusively for recreation and extends along many other communities, it’s a great spot for vehicle-free exercise.

Also worth noting is the oldest private course in Alberta, which happens to be on the northern border of the neighbourhood. Calgary Golf & Country Club has an 18-hole course and beautiful landscaping thanks to lush green grass and the nearby Elbow River winding through.

Those who want to stay within the community can enjoy abundant recreational facilities, many of which are shared with the neighbouring community of Mayfair. These include tennis courts, sporting centre, skating rinks, and parks.

There are also playgrounds designed with various equipment for children of all ages to enjoy. In addition to this, the community association often hosts events and spring/summer recreational programs for residents to take part in.

There are even community activities for residents to get to know their neighbours while doing something fun, like karate or yoga.
