Living in Livingston, Calgary: Community Guide for Home Buyers

Quick answer: Livingston is a newer master-planned community on Calgary's north edge, built by Brookfield Residential. Most homes are detached houses built since 2016, and residents share the Livingston Hub through a homeowners association.

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

What it's like to live in Livingston

Livingston sits just north of Stoney Trail, on both sides of Centre Street N. Construction started in 2016, and the community is still growing, with plans for about 10,000 homes over time.

Day to day, life centres on the Livingston Hub. It has skating rinks, tennis courts, a basketball court, a gym, a splash park and a playground. Parks and pathways run through the neighbourhoods. Calgary International Academy, a private elementary school, is on Livingston Way NE, and the Calgary Board of Education has funding to design a K to 6 school in Livingston.

Types of homes

About seven in ten homes are detached houses. The rest are mostly townhomes and duplexes, with estate homes in some phases. Since almost everything is new, you'll see both resale homes and new builds from several builders.

Getting around

Stoney Trail is right at the south edge, which makes it easy to get across the city or out to the airport. Calgary Transit Route 137 connects Livingston to North Pointe terminal, where MAX Green runs to downtown.

Who Livingston suits

Livingston suits families and first-time buyers who want a newer home and shared amenities on the north side. Townhomes and duplexes give buyers a lower-cost way into a new community.

Buying tips for Livingston

• Ask about the homeowners association. Livingston has a homeowners association that runs the Livingston Hub and looks after paths, parks and facilities. Ask whether a fee is registered on title, the current amount and what it covers.
• New build or resale. Builders are still building in Livingston. Compare a resale home's price, landscaping and finished basement against a new build's timeline, upgrades and GST.
• Check what is planned nearby. Livingston is still growing, with more phases and a town centre planned. Look at the plans for land near the home so you know what may be built next door.
