Moving in High River, Alberta: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Downtown on-street parking is limited to three hours on weekdays from 8am to 5pm, with warnings, tickets and towing; weekends and the public lots off Macleod Trail are unrestricted. The town lies at the junction of Highways 2 and 23, with the CP rail line cutting through the centre.
The homes and buildings here
After 2013 the Town rebuilt behind dikes and berms and reworked the low-lying Wallaceville area as flood protection, so the older stock left near the Highwood is what survived or was raised. The new land use bylaw dropped parking minimums downtown, so mixed-use buildings there may have no off-street loading.
Who moves in High River
The 2021 census counted 14,324 people, more than double the 9,345 of 2001. High River sits 68 km south of Calgary inside the metropolitan region, so moves split between Calgary commuters heading for the newer subdivisions and older buyers drawn to a walkable downtown with a hospital and museum.
One tip for your High River move
The Town only bills registered owners under bylaw 3810/95, so renters cannot open a utility account. Request the Connect or Disconnect Residential Property Services form from corporateservices@highriver.ca in writing before possession; account changes are not taken by phone, and bills arrive every second month.
