Harvest Hills

Living in Harvest Hills

Housing in Harvest Hills is mostly late-1980s, 1990s, and 2000s single-family detached on standard NE-suburb lots, with a notable share of newer 2010s townhome and duplex infill on land that was formerly the Harvest Hills golf course — the golf facility closed in early 2016 and was redeveloped over the following two years. Under 5% of housing here is rental — one of the lowest rental shares among NE Calgary communities and a signal of a heavily owner-occupied resident base that arrived in the late 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s and has stayed. Country Hills Boulevard along the north edge carries east-west traffic toward Coventry Hills, Country Hills Village, and further-east retail; Deerfoot Trail along the east provides fast north-south access toward downtown and the airport. Beddington Trail on the south forms the seam with Huntington Hills across the arterial, and Harvest Hills Boulevard on the west separates the community from Panorama Hills. The east-side blocks along Deerfoot Trail carry a normal acoustic and traffic-noise gradient that separates them from the quieter interior blocks around the lake. There is no CTrain station inside Harvest Hills; the community is bus-served into the wider NE transit network. For a similar NE community immediately west across Harvest Hills Boulevard, the Panorama Hills profile is the closest reference at a comparable price point.

Things to do in Harvest Hills

Harvest Hills’ clearest single anchor is Harvest Hills Lake, the interior water feature at the community’s centre. A pathway loop circles the lake and connects to the community grid, giving residents an at-doorstep walking and running network that most Calgary suburbs would need a park drive to match. Schools inside Harvest Hills serve a full public and Catholic catchment — check the current Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District attendance-area tools for the designated schools at a specific address. Day-to-day retail is a short drive away rather than inside the community: the Country Hills Village retail node — including grocery, cinemas, and restaurants — sits immediately north across Country Hills Boulevard in Country Hills Village, and the Coventry Hills retail precinct is a short drive northeast. The Deerfoot North retail corridor sits east across Deerfoot Trail, with big-box and grocery destinations at Country Hills Landing and along the corridor. Any specific business inside or near Harvest Hills is easiest to find through the Harvest Hills business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.

The Harvest Hills real-estate read

Harvest Hills’ average assessed value sits at $507K, well below the citywide $731K and reflecting the community’s mostly 1990s and 2000s single-family homes and its NE location. Values rose 10.5% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% — below the citywide pace and a signal that Harvest Hills’ assessment trajectory has been steadier than the recent NE surge affecting older-vintage communities. The below-average yearly move here contrasts with the double-digit run-ups in nearby older-vintage NE communities that ran up on catch-up pricing pressure; Harvest Hills’ higher starting point on the 1990s and 2000s homes left less room for that same rebound. Building activity is modest: 122 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward secondary-suite additions and renovation on the original single-family homes. The former Harvest Hills golf course land has been substantially built out through the 2010s and 2020s, and infill on it is now largely complete. The property values panel above shows how prices break across the community. On safety, disorder runs at 22 events per 1,000 residents — well below the citywide baseline of 59 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate rose compared with the year before. For a similar-value NE community further north, the Coventry Hills profile is the closest reference at a comparable price point; for a same-vintage NE peer just south across Beddington Trail, the Huntington Hills profile is the closest reference.
