Huntington Hills is one of the older established communities in north Calgary, developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. It offers some of the most accessible pricing for detached bungalows in the north quadrant — and for buyers who understand the renovation opportunity in older north Calgary stock, it's consistently one of the better value plays in the city.
Who Lives Here
Long-term owners who've been in the community for 20–30 years. First-time buyers who want a detached home in an established north community and have the lowest possible purchase price as their primary criteria. Investors who have identified the renovation opportunity and know that updated bungalows in established north communities command strong rental returns.
What You'll Find
Detached bungalows predominantly, built in the 1960s and 1970s on well-sized lots. Lot sizes are one of Huntington Hills' genuine assets — the older construction era means more land per home than anything built since. Many properties have developed basements. The renovation spread here is wider than almost any community in the north: fully renovated homes and original-finish properties can sit at meaningfully different price points on the same street.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Centre Street North provides solid commercial coverage for groceries, restaurants, and services. Nose Hill Park is accessible from the western communities bordering Huntington Hills. Schools have been established in the area for decades. The community is well-positioned between the Centre Street and Deerfoot corridors for commuting options.
Nick's Take
Huntington Hills is where you find the real value entry point for north Calgary detached homes. The bungalow stock on larger lots has renovation potential that buyers who do the work consistently realize — updated homes here sell well and rent well. The community doesn't photograph well in MLS listings given the original-finish properties, which keeps casual buyers away and creates opportunity for buyers who can see past surface condition. If you want the best price per square foot in an established north community and you're comfortable with a renovation, Huntington Hills is where to start looking.
