Moving in University Heights, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
University Heights is a small grid between 24 Avenue, University Drive, 16 Avenue and Shaganappi Trail, wedged against the University of Calgary and Foothills Medical Centre. Streets have lane access and larger lots, but hospital and campus traffic clogs 16 Avenue and Shaganappi at shift change, so we arrive early and park on interior streets.
The homes and buildings here
Established in 1963, with 56 percent of dwellings built between 1961 and 1980. Only 29 percent are detached mid-century bungalows with lane garages; 47 percent are apartments in walk-ups and low-rise buildings under five storeys and 21 percent are in buildings of five or more storeys, so most residents live in apartments.
Who moves in University Heights
University Heights had 2,965 residents in 2021 in households averaging 2.2 people, with 36 percent living alone; 71 percent rent, the highest share in the northwest, and 29 percent moved in the previous year. Apartment moves timed to university terms and hospital placements make up most of our work here.
One tip for your University Heights move
If you are renting near Foothills Medical Centre, ask the building whether the loading zone is shared with hospital shuttle traffic; some blocks only allow a truck to stand before 7 a.m. or after 6 p.m., and Westmount Charter School traffic adds to the squeeze on weekday mornings.
