Real Estate Airdrie Alberta

Tucked just 30 minutes north of Calgary, Airdrie delivers genuine small-city warmth without sacrificing everyday convenience. Weekends bring farmers’ markets in the historic downtown, community festivals in Nose Creek Park, and coffee catch-ups along the canal paths. Housing styles range from starter condos to custom estates, yet every neighbourhood shares a focus on safety, walkability, and neighbour-next-door friendliness. It’s the kind of place where kids still ride bikes until sunset and new arrivals feel like locals in a matter of weeks.

Airdrie is a commuter’s dream. Hop on the QE II (Hwy 2) and you’ll cover the 28 km to downtown Calgary in roughly 25–30 minutes; YYC International Airport is even closer at about 20 km (≈ 15 min).

Quick transit facts:

• Airdrie Transit (routes 1 & 3): circles key neighbourhoods every ≈ 30 min during peak times.
• ICE Route 901 (South) & 902 (North): weekday express buses to Calgary’s Rundle and Saddletowne C-Train stations.
• Route 900: weekend + holiday service to CrossIron Mills Mall and McKnight-Westwinds C-Train.
• Access Airdrie: door-to-door bookings for residents with mobility needs (reserve 24 h ahead).
• 140 km (≈ 87 mi) of paved pathways: ideal for cyclists and runners who’d rather skip the traffic altogether.

Whether you drive, ride, or bike, getting from A to B rarely involves congestion-fuelled stress.

Airdrie falls under both Rocky View Schools (public) and Calgary Catholic School District, giving families a broad mix of programs — English, French-immersion, and faith-based. Academic scores trend above the provincial average, and new campuses keep pace with the city’s growth.

Notable schools

• École Edwards Elementary (K–5, French Immersion) – Fraser score ~7.5/10
• Windsong Heights (K–8) – STEAM labs & outdoor classroom
• Northcott Prairie School (K–8, opened 2023) – modern learning commons
• Bert Church High (Gr 9–12) – strong arts academy & football program
• St. Martin de Porres High (Gr 9–12, Catholic) – AP courses + athletics

Add in Genesis Place rec-centre, city-run youth sports, and multiple licensed day-cares, and raising kids here feels less like juggling and more like joy.
