Panorama Hills Community Profile
Panorama Hills is one of Calgary’s largest and most diverse communities, located in the northwest/north (Ward 3). Development began around 1998-1999, and the community is now largely built out with approximately 8,500+ dwellings and a population exceeding 26,000 residents.
Panorama Hills is one of Calgary’s most multicultural communities with a strong South Asian community presence. The Vivo recreation centre and Cardel Theatre anchor the area. With homes dating back to the late 1990s and early 2000s, many properties have aging basements ideal for renovation or legal suite conversion. Based on current CREB data, detached homes range from $500K to $750K, with high rental demand driven by the large, established population base.
