Houses for sale in Scenic Acres, Calgary

Scenic Acres is a northwest Calgary community where almost all homes are detached houses. As of the 2021 Census of Canada, the City of Calgary counted 7,850 people in private households and 2,935 occupied private dwellings. Of those dwellings, 2,630 (90%) were single-detached houses — the highest share among the first 11 communities in this draft set. Semi-detached houses accounted for 200 dwellings (7%) and row houses for 100 (3%). Apartments were effectively absent. Most of the community was built in the late 1980s and 1990s: 54% of occupied dwellings went up between 1991 and 2000, and 39% between 1981 and 1990. Very little was added after 2000. The City classifies Scenic Acres as an established community with a 1980s/1990s structure.

If you are looking at houses for sale in Scenic Acres, compare setting, lot, renovations, garage and finished space with other detached homes in the community. Because so many homes are detached and of a similar age, those details are usually what separates one house from the next.

A note for Scenic Acres sellers

A Scenic Acres sale is usually a detached-to-detached comparison. Buyers will look at updates, the lot and how the home has been kept, not at a condo or townhouse average for the area. A supported asking price starts with recent detached sales and the houses listed today, then accounts for those differences.

Don’s usual combined commission is 2%: 1% for the listing brokerage and 1% for the buyer’s brokerage, before GST. That includes pricing advice, professional photos, MLS® and Realtor.ca exposure, showing support, offer negotiation and guidance through closing. On a sale of $806,500, 2% is $16,130 compared with $28,195 under the common 7%/3% example — a difference of $12,065 before GST. The 7%/3% example is 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance. Commissions are Negotiable.
