I'm George Brown, a Calgary REALTOR® with LPT Realty. Here's what buyers should know about Harvest Hills.

What it's like to live in Harvest Hills

Harvest Hills is bounded by Country Hills Boulevard to the north, Deerfoot Trail to the east, Beddington Trail to the south and Harvest Hills Boulevard to the west. Coventry Hills is just north.

The community has a lake. Its golf course closed in 2016, and that land in the northeast corner has been redeveloped with new homes. The Northern Hills Community Association runs programs such as the Harvest Hills Hub, soccer and community gardens. Vivo for Healthier Generations, on Country Village Link NE, has pools, an ice rink, gyms and a library branch.

Types of homes

About three-quarters of homes are detached houses, and about 72% were built in the 1990s. You'll also find low-rise condos, townhomes and semi-detached homes, plus newer homes built after 2016 on the former golf course land.

Getting around

MAX Green (Route 301) started in September 2025. It runs from North Pointe Terminal along Harvest Hills Boulevard and Centre Street to the downtown core. Deerfoot Trail is on the east edge and Beddington Trail on the south edge for drivers.

Who Harvest Hills suits

Harvest Hills suits families and move-up buyers who want an established community with a lake and quick access to Deerfoot Trail. Condos and townhomes also make it an option for first-time buyers.

Buying tips for Harvest Hills

• Ask about the lake. Harvest Hills has a lake. Ask whether the home you're looking at comes with lake access, a homeowners association or an annual fee, and get the details in writing.
• Compare older and newer homes. Most homes were built in the 1990s, while newer homes went up on the former golf course land. Compare age, updates and lot size.
• Review condo documents. If you're looking at a condo or townhome, read the reserve fund study, board minutes and bylaws before you firm up.
